Sean David Morton Sued By The S.E.C.
The New York Times (and other news sources) reported today that Sean David Morton has been sued by the Securities and Exchange Commission for investor fraud.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with Morton, he and his Delphi Associates organization have been jumping on the latest new-age bandwagon for the last decade or more, sometimes turning a decent profit. Friends and acquaintances of mine have claimed that they were swindled out of large sums of cash by Morton and his wife. Morton has also claimed to be the “World’s Foremost UFO Researcher” and has been a regular on the lecture circuit and paranormal talk shows.
For more on Morton, see the UFO Watchdog site (now hosted by the Paracast.) Morton sued site owner/ reporter Royce Meyers for libel for $1 million 2003 based on the material Meyers wrote and published. Morton could not prove that any false statements were made and was ordered to pay $16,000 in legal fees to the defendant.
Personally, I have always had a pretty negative opinion of Morton based on some limited interactions with him over the years. Maybe We’ll talk about them this Sunday on Radio Misterioso.
For those who are interested, all 21 pages of the lawsuit are available here as a 9MB PDF.

What a shock! Not.
SDM has released a statement that c2c has posted for him.
If I were c2c, I would not be posting statements from him. I would want to distance myself as far as possible from him. Especially since c2c is mentioned in the charges several times.

It’s about time someone nailed that sucker.
Thank goodness progress is being made and perhaps justice being served against Sean David Morton, Bill Knell and their ilk.
