I've actually discovered porn centered around Mormon underwear, which (I presume) is appealing to repressed young Mormons who actually took the time to fantasize about that sort of thing. Same principle with nun porn. Nun porn is one of the best things Catholicism has ever produced. You can't have a concept of "naughty" without repression and boundaries. Fucking nuns is verboten. But we all know how much sweeter the forbidden fruit is... Wink wink. Nudge nudge. Mormon underwear. I can't be mad at Mormonism if it's going to be that kinky.

As for the religion being founded by a con artist. I think there's a long list of religions founded by con artists. You basically have a choice with religion. Is the founder a con artist? Or was he delusional? Take your pick. Each one has its own perils.

Not Mormon, but same principle of living in a patriarchal past. 2 minutes 12 seconds into this video, pretty much the same principle, just the Amish version.
