In this episode, we examine the origins of Joseph Smith’s banking ambitions, the establishment of an unauthorized financial institution, and the questionable practices surrounding its operation. We also explore the Panic of 1837, the accusations of financial deception, and the growing dissent among early Latter-day Saints as the collapse of the Kirtland Safety Society threatened not only their livelihoods but their confidence in Joseph Smith as a prophet of God.
