despite some odd decisions by some US courts, I somewhat doubt that the US Government's FTC branch's jurisdiction extends quite so far without some level of serious sanity checking.
Indeed, no, the FTC deals in market regulation. Any supposed wrongdoing by a non-profit that engages in no trade or commerce to speak of would be of interest primarily to the IRS and DOJ or state-level agencies.
Like myself, the FTC would probably be wondering what bizarre idea Irismeister has of what the "T" in "FTC" stands for.
