The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) and its investment management company have agreed to pay a combined $5 million to settle charges they previously hid the church's multibillion-dollar stock portfolio from the public, the Securities and Exchange Commission announced on Tuesday.

Outside experts said that while it is not uncommon for the SEC to pursue cases with a religious angle, it was unusual to see a fine assessed against a church as large as the Mormon church, which represents roughly 1% of Americans, according to the Public Religion Research Institute.

Some attorneys cautioned that most asset managers are not encouraged to hide their investments, and the unusual arrangement could limit the potential impact of the settlement beyond this case. However, it could have implications for other religious groups or charitable organizations that might also want to play down their investment coffers for donors.

"The only likely potential developments might be additional investigations into other non-profit and charitable institutions, like universities."

What's $5M when you're sitting on $100 Billion? And all tax free.

tax them

a church--lying? weird...

A drop in the bucket.

5 million dollars? That’s it? Really?

... but ... the drag queens!! ... talk about accuse of what you are guilty.

So…0.008% of the total value of their fraud?

Like a one penny parking ticket during a billion dollar heist.

Slap on the wrist. Not even 1% of the fraud they committed

Their entire religion is “misleading the public” to be fair…
