Even Deseret "News" admits that Utah is a hot spot for affinity fraud.
http://www.deseretnews.com/article/865665746/Utahs-fraud-epidemic-Victims-share-anger-embarrassment-hurt.htmlAmong LDS fraudsters are:
Kurk Branham Barton (with support of BYU QB/coach Ty Detmer). Scam--Ponzi scheme. Article Date: 8/17/2011. Amount allegedly defrauded: $50 million;
Robert and Martin Hooker: Scam--Montana Gold Mine. Article Date: 1/30/2998. Amount allegedly defrauded: $2 million;
Shane Baldwin: Scam--Distressed debt secured by “property.” Article Date: 6/1/2015; amount allegedly defrauded, $14 million;
Curtis DeYoung: Scam--Misappropriated pension funds; article date, 2/26/2015; amount allegedly defrauded, $24 million;
Robert Hollaway: Scam--Ponzi scheme based on computer software.; article date, 8/7/2014; amount allegedly defrauded, $25 million; and
Rick Koerber: Scam--Ponzi scheme based on alleged real estate holdings; article Date, 8/25/2014; amount allegedly defrauded, $100 million.
Don't forget minor LDS general authority R. Dean Udy, sentenced to 1-10 years in federal prison for affinity fraud.
Lastly, never forget L. Wynn Johnson, convicted in the Bonneville Pacific scam. Served one of 10 years, much of it at home in an ankle bracelet after a heart attack in prison. Was given permission to work in temple with his ankle bracelet. After release, put back into stake leadership. Later went on non-proselyting mission to BYU-H, where he and his wife were-I shit you not--guest faculty members, in economics, as I recall.
