The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and 10 US states have taken legal action against a women's cancer charity, accusing it of being a sham operation. The charity, which claimed to raise funds to help women fight cancer, is alleged to have raised $18.25 million but spent only $194,809 on its stated purpose. The lawsuit aims to prevent the charity from deceiving donors further and seeks to recover money for cancer patients. Attorney General Ashley Moody is among the officials leading the charge, emphasizing the importance of taking action to protect both donors and patients.
