Utah leads rhe nation in per capita fraud cases.
From the Las Vegas Review Journal, interviewing a Mormon FBI specialist:
On a warm summer afternoon, passersby in Temple Square speak many languages as they make their pilgrimage to the heart of the conservative religion that numbers nearly 14 million members worldwide. The nearby Salt Lake Tabernacle, home to the internationally renowned Mormon Tabernacle Choir, attracts the devout as well as the curious. Seated on a bench in the shadow of majestic granite spires of the Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Cameron Saxey makes a confession. After 20 years as an FBI special agent, 14 of those spent chasing white-collar criminals, Saxey is particularly challenged by the insidious nature of affinity fraud that plagues his own church and has caused its hierarchy deep concern. "I would much prefer investigating people in Los Angeles that are not of my faith," says the 42-year-old Saxey, who bears a resemblance to the late actor Christopher Reeve. "It breaks my heart to see the wives and kids of the men and women who are involved in fraud who are going to be going to jail." But he does his job. And there's plenty of work to do. In Utah, fraudsters exploiting a connection to the LDS church and its close-knit families have separated an estimated $1.4 billion from victims in recent years, according to the state's multi-jurisdictional Securities Fraud Task Force, which currently is working more than 100 cases. Despite their high dollar amounts, most of those investigations gain little media attention outside Utah, where FBI Supervisory Special Agent James Malpede notes that affinity fraud is second only to domestic terrorism on the Bureau's list of priorities.
