A version of that story was posted a few days ago on an LDS website. I don’t know whether the man in the story has ever shared his perspective. (I won’t mention his name here.)

I do wonder why the money wasn't used to build the FARMS ziggurat . Alternatively, FARMS could have purchased the Kirtland temple, moved it by truck to Provo, and contracted with E. C.
