from the warm, sunny temperatures that we experienced during the first week of these winter games. in the last 48 hours, we have seen rain, wet snow. we've seen thick fog, which has caused delays in many of the olympic events. take, for example, up in the mountain cluster, the men's 15 kilometer biathlon finally kicked off after two weather delays and under heavy snow. despite the cloudy weather, one thing is clear today. the united states is top in ice dancing. american skaters meryl davis and charlie white ice danced their way to gold in a nearly flawless performance. the couple are the first u.s. ice dancers to win the olympic top spot. white told reporters what he whispered to davis on the ice seconds after their performance ended. >> davis and white lit up the ice. >> i told meryl i loved her, you know, to go through the most stressful thing in the world,

offers over the phone. other investors receiving telemarketing calls put us in touch with this man, gene richards. richards wanted us to invest $35,000 in a horror film. he gave us a movie trailer and a brochure which said actors ray liotta and megan fox were reading the script. >> ray liotta you think will be in it? >> yes. >> has he already signed on to it or -- >> he signed on and we're in negotiations with megan fox as well. >> what is the movie flops? will i get anything back? >> you'll double your money even if it flops. >> reporter: i'm ben tracy from cbs news. how are you doing? you're talking to pat here, i heard you are say even if this movie's a flop you could basically guarantee double or

convinced bette anderson to invest. he sent two associates to meet with us, hoping we'd hand over a $100,000 check for a horror film called the animal among us. jonathan murphy was optimistic about the potential for the investment. >> with what i told you 500% domestically to 1200% with a 700% return on a $100,000 investment. you're looking at making $600,000. >> reporter: cara kidwell told our producer she helped produce two films with john goodman and what love is starring cuba gooding jr. released in 2007. >> i remember -- >> what was the return? >> their return, they actually doubled because i remember the first check that rolled in was for $30,000. all of a sudden, the money started coming in.

and they were really happy on the red carpet premiere. >> how much did they get back? >> i don't know. >> reporter: hi, i'm ben tracy from cbs news. investors told us they've never seen a dime of return from "what love is." they were told up front they would likely make money off of it and they haven't. what do you say to it? >> why don't i connect you directly to the producers that is the company that hired me then you can ask all the questions that you want and they can give you the direct answer. >> reporter: and big sky motion pictures is say company that you work for? >> yes. >> reporter: are you aware that big sky productions and spring break productions have several cease and desist orders for these type of investments? >> no. >> reporter: kidwell told us they thinks the producers weren't at fault. it was the marketing firm that

hired that might have done things the wrong way. and investors gave us documents listing cara kidwell was director of partner relations for big sky. she even issued tax forms to investors so they could write off their losses, directly contradicting her claim to our producers that investors doubled their money. both kidwell and big sky ceo mars callahan declined our request for a sit-down interview. >> they're professional money raisers, they're not film producers. >> reporter: joel craft said he sold thousands of names to big sky. he's been indicted for selling leads to other production companies that defrauded investors. >> it's a glorified telemarketing operation. i would say several hundred investors invested in big sky. they did produce the films. but unfortunately, none of the investors have seen their money back. >> reporter: are you worried that you're going to have to
