Former Disney star Erik von Detten is facing fresh claims that he is getting in the way of an investigation into the company he worked for.

Creditors want his records

Rosland Capital, his employer, is now in bankruptcy. Its creditors say von Detten has not willingly turned over the documents they asked for.

According to the filing, that refusal has made it impossible to gather evidence through a friendly agreement. They are now asking the court for permission to subpoena him for the paperwork.

How the gold business worked

Rosland promoted itself with ads on cable news channels. The pitch invited viewers to put their money into gold and other precious metals.

The creditors claim the actor was far more than a face on the payroll. They allege he was "deeply involved" in running things and played a key part in drawing in customers.

The lawsuit that started it

Earlier, Sheila and Norman Greenberg sued von Detten. The couple alleged they paid $2 million for gold coins that turned out to be worth about $1.3 million.

Their suit accused him of exploiting them because they are seniors. Before von Detten filed his answer to that case, Rosland sought bankruptcy protection.

Still only claims

None of the accusations have been proven in court. The judge has not yet ruled on whether the creditors can force him to produce the documents.
