# Step 1: The problem gives us a quartic equation with complex coefficients and states that the four complex roots form a rhombus when plotted in the complex plane.\
nThe equation given is $2z^4 + 8iz^3 + (-9 + 9i)z^2 + (-18 - 2i)z + (3 - 12i) = 0$. We need to find the area of the rhombus formed by the roots.

## Step 2: To sim
plify the problem, we can start by substituting $z = x + yi$, where $x$ and $y$ are real numbers, into the given equation to express it in terms of $x$ and $y$.
How
ever, given the symmetry of a rhombus, if the roots are $z_1, z_2, z_3, z_4$, then we can consider the relation between the roots to simplify the problem, especially
 considering that a rhombus has pairs of opposite sides that are parallel and equal in length.

## Step 3: The roots of the polynomial are symmetric with respect t
o the center of the rhombus.
Since a rhombus is symmetric, the center of the rhombus is the midpoint of the diagonal connecting any two opposite vertices (roots).


## Step 4: If $z_1$ and $z_3$ are opposite vertices of the rhombus, then the midpoint of the line segment connecting them is the center of the rhombus.
Let's deno
te the center of the rhombus as $z_0$. Given the symmetry, $z_0 = \\frac{z_1 + z_3}{2}$ and similarly for the other pair of roots.

## Step 5: We are given that th
e roots form a rhombus, which implies certain geometric relationships between the roots.
Specifically, the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles.
 This relationship can help us find the area of the rhombus if we can express the roots in a way that reveals their geometric relationships.

## Step 6: We can use
 Vieta's formulas to relate the coefficients of the polynomial to its roots.
For a quartic equation $az^4 + bz^3 + cz^2 + dz + e = 0$, the sum of the roots $z_1 + z
_2 + z_3 + z_4 = -\\frac{b}{a}$.

## Step 7: Applying Vieta's formulas to our equation, we can find the sum of the roots.
Given $2z^4 + 8iz^3 + (-9 + 9i)z^2 + (-1
8 - 2i)z + (3 - 12i) = 0$, the sum of the roots is $-\\frac{8i}{2} = -4i$.

## Step 8: Since the roots form a rhombus, the center of the rhombus, which is also the
 average of all roots, can be found by dividing the sum of the roots by 4.
The average of the roots, or the center of the rhombus, is $\\frac{-4i}{4} = -i$.

## S
tep 9: Knowing the center and the fact that a rhombus has its diagonals bisecting each other at right angles, we can consider how the roots relate to each other geom
etrically.
If one root is $z$, then the other roots can be expressed in terms of $z$ and the center, considering rotations and reflections.

## Step 10: The area 
of a rhombus can be found using the formula $A = \\frac{1}{2} \	imes d_1 \	imes d_2$, where $d_1$ and $d_2$ are the lengths of the diagonals.
If we can express th
e roots in terms of their distances from the center, we can find the lengths of the diagonals.

## Step 11: Let's denote the roots as $z_1, z_2, z_3, z_4$ and thei
r distances from the center as $r_1, r_2, r_3, r_4$.
However, given the symmetry of a rhombus, the roots are equally spaced from the center, and their distances can
 be related to the diagonals of the rhombus.

## Step 12: Since we know that the roots are symmetric and form a rhombus, and given the center of the rhombus is $-i
$, we can consider how the roots are distributed around this center.
The roots must be equally spaced around the center, forming a rhombus.

## Step 13: To simpli
fy, let's consider the polynomial $p(z) = 2z^4 + 8iz^3 + (-9 + 9i)z^2 + (-18 - 2i)z + (3 - 12i)$ and its roots.
Given the symmetry, we might consider dividing the p
olynomial by $z - z_0$ and using the remainder theorem, but this approach might be too complex without further simplification.

## Step 14: Instead of directly fin
ding the roots, we can use the fact that the roots form a rhombus and are thus symmetric with respect to the center $-i$.
This symmetry implies that if $z$ is a roo
t, then $-z + 2(-i)$ is also a root, since the center is $-i$.

## Step 15: Considering the geometric relationships and symmetries, the problem might be approached
 more effectively by considering the properties of a rhombus and how they apply to complex numbers.
The diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular bisectors of each o
ther, which can help in finding the area if we can express the roots in a geometrically meaningful way.
