I live in Utah, can confirm this is a huge thing here. Fortunately (I say fortunately because I hate MLMs) the leaders of the dominant religion here have been pretty vocal about being a little smarter with "shady investments", and I think some of them are trying to allude to MLMs. Hopefully they just say it outright some day

I also see that this seems more specific to the culture of Utah than of the Mormon religion as you don't see this same behavior in other places with large Mormon populations such as Mexico or Brazil.

Do Mexico and Brazil have a lot of MLMs yet?
