A group of former YTB International, Inc. Referring Travel Agents (RTAs) has refiled their class action lawsuit against YTB in the U.S. District Court for Southern Illinois. They claim that while it's a national suit they should still be protected under Illinois consumer fraud law.

Travel Pulse reports that YTB "ran an illegal pyramid scheme that they called one of the largest frauds in history, exceeded only by Bernie Madoff. The former agents said that YTB and affiliated corporations took half a billion dollars from unsophisticated customers.

In their refiled suit, the agents said that the court had said in an earlier ruling that they hadn’t provided enough factual allegations to be covered by the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act to a nation-wide class action suit. The new claim attempts to show that YTB’s pyramid scheme occurred primarily within Illinois, meaning that it is covered by the Illinois law and is within the court’s jurisdiction.

The suit was filed by Faye Morrison, Jon Stull, Kwame Thompson, Jeffrey Hartman, Polly Hartman, JPH Development Inc., Grace Perry and Courtney Speed."
