Disclaimer FamilySearch is my primary client. The Church of the Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints doesn't store or maintain any data on people that aren't members of the Church and relatively little data on those that are. FamilySearch only stores data that individuals put in about themselves and on individuals that are deceased. Further they go to great lengths to ensure that data about living persons is only visible to the person whose data it is.

The Church of the Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is a criminal organization that has embezzled billions of dollars[0] so I would imagine that they would store whatever data they felt was valuable to them regardless of what they publicly say about the matter.

  This complaint was resolved. They received a small fine for organizing the funds incorrectly. But the money was legally donated and it's not illegal to invest money donated to a charitable organization. Also, you've posted this article twice in the past week. Hacker News is probably not the best place for your Anti-Mormon crusade.

    I'm not an antimormon. I'm a secular individual who would like to see the promise of a secular society kept. I am also an individual who happens to think that white-collar crime is the blight on our society that causes so much of the other crime that we feel the effects of every day. As such I find instances of white collar crime that involve nonprofit organizations and a hundred billion dollars to be quiet odious. > They received a small fine for organizing the funds incorrectly Where can I learn more about this? Do you happen to be Mormon?

    lmfao you literally keep posting about your preferred cult. Hacker News is probably not the best place for your pro-Mormon crusade.

      Parent claimed the LDS church embezzled billions. There's zero evidence of this. It's literally a conspiracy theory. I'm sorry you feel my ethnicity is a cult, I didn't choose it, but I am proud of it.
