City Confidential: Faith and Foul Play in Salt Lake City on AllMovie

One of the most skilled forgers of the century wreaks havoc within the Mormon Church in City Confidential: Faith and Foul Play in Salt Lake City. Mark Hofman was born in Salt Lake City and became active in the community, often doing mission work for the powerful organization. By the time he was 30, Hofman had acquired a rare talent, that of counterfeiting. His expertise was profound and often fooled the greatest experts. When Hofman became entangled in a web of forgery aimed at stocking the archives of the Mormon Church, his fame grew. But, as the truth about his rare "discoveries" came to light, Hofman started to panic. It was then that he decided to create three pipe bombs, two for members of the Church and one for himself. A&E explains how a carefully constructed plan backfired, leaving the Mormon Church deeply scarred.
