Illinois Attorney General Acts Against YTB
May 15, 2009 By: George DooleyThe saga of YTB International continues with Lisa Madigan, attorney general of Illinois, filing charges against YTB alleging violation of the state’s Consumer Fraud Act. In a filing with the Circuit Court of the Sixth District in Champaign County, the attorney general seeks to prohibit YTB from sales or promotion of any “multi-level marketing plan or pyramid scheme” and asks for civil and statutory penalties of $100,000. The Illinois action follows the California’s State Attorney General winning a $1 million judgment against YTB.
