John Huber, Utah's U.S. Attorney, spoke more about the LDS targets of white collar crime.

"We form relationships of trust and when someone starts speaking like we speak or they act like we act, there’s almost an instant trust that is extended to them. And, so, in Utah we see this affinity fraud—people who exploit their relationships with others to take advantage of them. We see that in Utah. And in Utah it may be because of the predominant religion that allows people to have an instant trust extended to them that then they take advantage of and exploit," Huber said.
