Three Cups of Tea author must pay $1m after he scammed charity...

The author of Three Cups of Tea has agreed to repay $1m (£631,000) to his charity after an inquiry found he mis-spent its money.

Greg Mortenson will no longer be the executive director of the Central Asia Institute (CAI), but will still draw a salary from the organisation.

Officials investigated the charity last year after claims that parts of the book were fabricated.

No criminality was found but the report recommended more oversight for the CAI. Full story...
