Legendary Utah journalist and investigator Lynn Packer discusses his recent investigation into possible fraud perpetrated by Utah Mormon Tim Ballard and Utah Mormon Attorney General Sean Reyes - as part of Operation Underground Railroad (OUR), which has raised over $30 million claiming to rescue children from sex trafficking. Their new movie The Sound of Freedom released on July 4th, 2023 is reviving his wild claims of rampant child-trafficking

 

Packer has raised concerns about Tim Ballard and Sean Reyes being involved in the following:

  • Stockpiling $30M in donations that are not being used to save children.

  • Excessive compensation to Tim Ballard (over $300k/year).

  • Unethical accounting that now is likely hiding Tim Ballard's total compensation.

  • Lavish expenditures (e.g., first-class flights, 5-star hotels, dramatic helicopter appearances) with no financial accountability about how funds are used.

  • Using false statistics to overstate the prevalence of child sex trafficking worldwide to lure donors.

  • Using excessive emotion and religious manipulation to lure donors, including claims to be called of God, and to be protected by God in OUR's work.

  • Using affinity with Mormon celebrities like Mormon apostle M. Russell Ballard, Glenn Beck, and Elizabeth/Ed Smart to lure donors.

  • Claiming credit for raids that they were not involved with.

  • Engaging in illegal and unsafe raids (jump teams) that often yield no positive results.

  • Alleged unsavory behavior of jump team members, including illegal drug use during raids, sexual assault, etc.

  • Drawing money and attention away from legitimate charities who are meaningfully providing solutions to the problems OUR decries.

  • Victimizing and politicizing the suffering of children for political gain (Sean Reyes).

  • Associating with and taking advantage of known false conspiracy theories like QAnon.

  • Using the LDS Church's law firm (Kirton & McConkie) to intimidate and silence whistleblowers.

  • In summary, manipulating wealthy donors through religious and patriotic emotion and misusing or misallocating funds, all on the backs of a very vulnerable population.
