Hofman was a lapsed Mormon who had an interest in LDS history and used his knowledge to give an air of credibility to his documents. He sold them for hundreds of thousands of dollars all told. He was mercenary in his motives.

He was shrewd. He purchased an old paper and Bibles so the paper would be the right vintage. His ink ultimately was his Waterloo. It fooled many but the document experts finally nailed him.
