Maybe they’re closer to the Mormons. They basically run the state of Utah. They also trawled the literature world and did everything they could to rewrite the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s original Sherlock Holmes stories. The Mormons were the villains in A Study in Scarlet.
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.
