Do the Amish, or Hasidic Jews or whoever, have lots of MLMs and Ponzi schemes?

Bernie Madoff is the classic example, his affinity fraud targeted wealthy Jewish individuals, foundations, and charities. In terms of relative frequency though, good question. Utah is an oddity where state-level stats are a decent estimate for Mormons, given the 70% membership. It would be harder to get equivalent stats for Jewish or Amish communities.
