AUGUSTA, Maine -- The Maine Attorney General's Office has filed a
lawsuit against a controversial Kittery-based nonprofit group.

The Gentle Wind Project designs and sells what it calls "healing
instruments" that it said solve a variety of physical and emotional
ailments.

Others said the group is a scam.

The attorney general's office accused the group of falsely claiming
that their products had healing qualities and of considering the
income from their sale as charitable donations rather than sales
proceeds.

Prosecutors want the Gentle Wind Project to liquidate its assets,
pay the state's legal fees and refund anyone who bought items
between 2000 and the present.
