YTB Tries To Dismiss Lawsuit Brought By Former YTB Referring Travel Agents

By: Nadine Godwin
The U.S. District Court in East St. Louis, Ill., on Monday heard YTB's motions to dismiss a lawsuit brought by a number of former referring travel agents (RTAs), but the court did not issue an immediate decision.

The former RTAs, in two class actions filed last summer, charged that YTB, a multilevel marketing travel company, operates an illegal pyramid scheme and engages in deceptive business practices.

The two cases have since been combined into a single action.

Judge G. Patrick Murphy took the motions to dismiss under advisement and will rule later.
