It appears that a disgrunteled member with access to a lot of church documents, is posting them on exmormon reddit today.
As I am at work, I havent had the time to assess the scope, but it appears to be substantial.
Kind regards

Leaking church documents on Reddit
About Joseph Smith.. How do you think his persona was influenced by being the storyteller since childhood? Mastering the art of going pale, changing his voice, and mesmerizing his audience.. How do you think he was influenced by keeping secrets and lying for his wife and the church members for decades?

Re: Leaking church documents on Reddit
I'm on a government network that has seen fit to block reddit (and my cell coverage is absolute crap here), so I'm counting on you good people to return and report with the juicy stuff. God bless.
Re: Leaking church documents on Reddit
The exmormon reddit mods have taken down the documents as of now, to go through them.
The reason being some of the documents contained what appeard to be photos of people with their work phone nr and email adress. Also some docs included what might be private emails, and some contained information on LDS contact people in countries like Syria.
As far as I could tell about 30 documents were released as individual posts on reddit.
Lots of legal documents discussing policy and finances.

Re: Leaking church documents on Reddit
Update:
New documents are still being posted on his profile, while the documents are not visible on exmormon atm.
https://www.reddit.com/user/mormondocuments/submitted/
The count now is up to nr 35, but he skipped #4 and #15 so the total is 33 so far.

Re: Leaking church documents on Reddit
I've browsed through these, and it's amazing how bureaucratic the church is--in this sense it is much worse than I thought the Church was, and is on par with how bureaucratic I imagine the U.S. Army to be.
I found something that is actually interesting. On the document "Financial Standard 6230: Accessing and Securing Financial Information" there is an appendix that shows who has access to what financial data.
It turns out that there are only seven people on the planet who have full access to the church's financial data: The First Presidency, the Presiding Bishop, and the Finance and Records Managing Director/Church Controller.
The Quorum of the Twelve is not authorized to see financial records of investment securities, investment properties, other assets, liabilities, net assets, or "personnel (salary etc.)."
The document does confirm that members of the seventy and area presidencies, and the DTA/Area Controller may access the "Financial records/amounts for an individual member", but only in the process of selecting ecclesiastical leaders. I always imagined they looked at tithing records when selecting stake presidents and mission presidents. Now we know for sure.
The representatives of the church controller are allowed to view everything but investment securities and investment properties (and the financial records of individual members).
Why are the investment securities held so closely? They don't want the apostles to find out the church really does own stock in Coke? lol

It’s relatively easy to agree that only Homo sapiens can speak about things that don’t really exist, and believe six impossible things before breakfast. You could never convince a monkey to give you a banana by promising him limitless bananas after death in monkey heaven.

Re: Leaking church documents on Reddit
I hope the financial standard "Information and Systems Security Classification Policy" is released, so we can see what information is "confidential" vs. "highly confidential", and also to see what other classifications exist.

I hope that someone is copying all of these before they may disappear or be taken down. I don't have time to go read them right now, but I'm very interested to see what's in them.
Please make sure someone is keeping a copy and record if these are important and revealing leaks (and authentic).
