KSL.com Story: Two accused of impersonating LDS Church officials stand trial

This one's a real doozy. Two accused of impersonating LDS Church officials are standing trial right now for fraud. I am posting about this because I want it absolutely clear to all my readers that those impersonators had no legal right to use the name of the Church in their scheme, nor were they cleared to implicate leaders of the Church. Find that story by following this link. Thanks.
