How does this member of a polygamous organization in Utah who earnestly started a business,

I'm Michelle McPhee. I'm an investigative journalist who's worked the crime and corruption beat for decades.

But in all my years reporting, this must be the strangest conspiracy I've ever come across.

We were God's chosen kingdom on earth.

There's Jacob, an oddball, even within his isolated polygamist community.

He was so socially awkward.

In Levant, a swaggering Armenian businessman with an eye for a deal.

He has a very scarface persona.

Together, they'd cook up a truly audacious fraud, an empire entirely built on lives.

We found another bank account, and another bank account, millions and millions of dollars
