Matt Bissonnette, aka Mark Owen, the Navy Seal who wrote his account of killing Osama Bin Laden, is suing his lawyers for bad advice regarding the book.
The 2012 book, No Easy Day, led to a Pentagon inquiry and a criminal probe by the Justice Department. Bisonette claims that his attorneys Kevin Podlaski and Carson Boxberger advised him that it would be fine to publish a book about the covert mission. Bissonnette is seeking damages for fines and and for lost income on would-be consulting jobs and speaking engagements.
The Christian Science Monitor has more: “The lawsuit said Bissonnette has agreed as part of a negotiated settlement to forfeit to the U.S. government the majority of all income he has received from the book, along with future income. It said the payment to the government has already exceeded $4.5 million.”
