Three men have filed a lawsuit against the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints – also known as the LDS or Mormon church – and its investment arm, Ensign Peak Advisors, Inc. The men, at least one of whom remains an active member of the church, according to the lawsuit, allege that the church had fraudulently induced them into making donations.
LDS church doctrine requires its members to tithe – that is, give 10% of their income to the church. Otherwise, members cannot attend or participate in worship in the church’s temples.
