Faith community counts losses in Petters investments:
....Vennes is the common tie among Anderson's clients, Teen Challenge and Fidelis. Vennes is a felon turned Christian who had a 14-year relationship with Petters and steered investments of $1.2 billion his way, according to federal documents. Vennes told authorities that he earned $38 million in commissions in 2007 alone from the Petters operation. Although his assets were put in receivership a year ago and he is identified in an FBI search warrant as a participant with Petters and others in conversations about the crumbling operation, Vennes has not been charged with a crime in the case.
"His status hasn't changed. He has not be charged," said Vennes' attorney, James Volling. "I'm waiting just like everyone else to see what happens."
