A US court has ordered two precious metals companies to pay almost $146m after more than 500,000 American Silver Eagle coins went missing.
The firms and their owner Robert Higgins have been accused of running a “fraudulent and deceptive scheme”.
They had allegedly promised to store the coins for customers, under the Maximus Program and the Silver Lease Program.
However, when investigators entered vaults that were meant to hold the coins, they were nowhere to be found.
