The FBI did not officially charge them, and the investigation has not been officially closed either. Several people in the past 1-4 years have continued to lose large amounts of money to Eric and Debby Berry. These 'investments' are a good way to lose your life savings. It did not stop after 60 Minutes and it still hasn't stopped.
For whatever reason, churches and Christians are a frequent target of the Berrys. This makes Debby's frequent invitation into the pulpit dangerous, and the fact that they have been members at four churches in the past four years is also alarming. How many people are they going to try to win over and then scam in the future if the truth is not shared?
Debby and Eric are smart and very gifted at the 'long con'. So of course you see a friendly couple who will buy you dinner, offer to send your child to college or buy you a new wardrobe. But what you do not see is insidious. It is a well thought out plan to take what they can get, when they can get it once they have won your confidence.
