[Conclusion]
As is too often the case, new evidence while solving some old problems almost invariably introduces new ones. We now see that the existence of the ledger disproves the allegations of fraud and dishonesty on the part of the Church leaders in Kirtland who had allegedly destroyed the ledger to hide the evidence of their evil. However, its existence does not "tell all" about the Society and its failure, but its "discovery" now makes it available to scholars.
