Caplin & Drysdale is advising Three Cups of Tea author Greg Mortenson in connection with an agreement that calls for him to repay $1 million to the Bozeman, Montana-based nonprofit he founded, the Central Asia Institute (CAI), after an investigation by Montana Attorney General Stephen Bullock’s office found that Mortenson misspent charity funds.

Ex-mountain climber Mortenson followed up the best-selling Three Cups of Tea, which chronicles his travels through rural Afghanistan and Pakistan, with Stones into Schools. The latter book details Mortenson’s transition from adventurer to humanitarian and his efforts to build schools and promote literacy as a way of helping the children of those hard-pressed regions.
