I see. That being said at one time they ran Las Vegas because no one wanted to do business with gangsters. Also, if you are into history check this out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1838_Mormon_War . I do like their ideals of self-reliance but I do not like their off the record child abuse archives which are supposedly massive. I did not know that about Doyle. I have to wonder what happened to make him view them in that light.
They were founded by a serial conman so that might have a bit to do with it.
