Based upon headlines of the past 18 months, there's gotta be a waterfall effect of this decision upon other cases involving $ going to the Lds church.
LDS Church spokesman Scott Trotter said Thursday that the receivers claim is being evaluated

“evaluated”
What does that mean
either the guy gave the mormon corporration all, that money or he didnt ...
If he gave the money then the mormon corporation better give it back...
If they keep it they are thieves ...
in this case...
whether or not they were thieves before or will be in the future is for another thread...
As he “transferred” the $160,000+ to the mormon corporation there will be ample records so the proof is there and the money must all be returned...
SEC always goes after bad money given to charities, i.e. Madoff. The charities can certainly contest it and in a case like this and may not have to give any money back at all.
I think we need to WAIT to see what the COURT decides in this matter...
Know who else got in trouble for fraud? Joseph Smith in the days before he wrote the Book of Mormon, made himself wealthy and powerful, and married a boat load of women (and a couple children) did.
