"ThoughtfulSaint" is a Grade-A asshole Twitter. DCP should really do his research before quoting people.

I hear the Midnight Mormons get loads of threats, too…

As evidenced by them wearing tactical vests to streamed discussions...

Another day with zero mention from DCP, the church’s most prominent apologist, about the scandal. Instead he posted a list of places he has eaten at. He could be educating himself on the issue. I would hope so. Too many LDS and apologists leaped to defend, using only DesNews and the church’s weasel...

[...]oreover, there is no legitimate argument that can justify the unethical and dishonest steps taken by the EPA and the Church (e.g. the business 'managers' with no real authority or responsibilities other than to sign paperwork). Also intentionally only providing those business "managers" the si...

We'll see what, if anything, comes of it. I would be (to put it very mildly) positively astounded if it were to turn out that the Church was deliberately trying to flout federal tax laws. But those laws are so complex and arcane that I wouldn't be at all surprised if an investigation identifies arg...

Intentionally creating 13 substance-free LLCs to conceal money? Check. Creating false addresses for the 13 substance free LLCs? Check. Intentionally finding 13 employees with common names to avoid fruitful social media searches to be 'managers' of the LLCs? Check. Making those employees commit perju...

I agree. The SEC specifically states in a footnote to its order that the phrase "senior leadership" means the Presiding Bishopric and the First Presidency. The fines can be waved away as the cost of doing business. The First Presidency knowingly seeking to hide assets from regulators is tough to wa...

Good point, it's interesting that they actually went beyond the fund to the lds church to assess fines. the lds church non-apology was a lesson in bad PR. in my opinion the one single thing that stands out in all of this is that the SEC forced the Church - a.k.a., The Savior - to be named as a viol...

Avoid litigation as much as humanly possible.

Now, now, don't put me out of business.
