In April, 60 Minutes raised questions about Greg Mortenson's book, Three Cups of Tea, including the veracity of some of the stories in it, and whether Mortenson's charity, the Central Asia Institute, is properly run.
Now, a federal lawsuit has been filed in Illinois, alleging violation of the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act. This is not the first lawsuit regarding the book--another was filed in Montana, and class-action status is sought for both of them, so they may be joined by purchasers of Mortenson's book.
