Lori Laatsch was ordered to pay $1.2 million to the Derzon Coins estate upon trying to use the family’s assets as her own. The judge ordered this amount due to her “bad faith, fraud and deliberate dishonesty.” This ruling comes after she was stripped of any interest in the $3 million estate of Rebecca Derzon, Laatsch’s half sister who wrote her into her will months before her death, leaving her 75% of the coin business. Laatsch is accused of deceitful behavior over many years, prolonging litigation.
