Sean David Morton: Default Judgements
I just reviewed the interview with Sean David Morton and Kerry Cassidy (of Project Camelot). Thank you to OOM2 for posting this.
Wow. Mr Morton claims that his fraud charges from the SEC in 2010 were all the fault of his trader, Daryl Weber. He claims that Mr Weber did not follow his tried and true psychic predictions when investing all that money, but instead invested exactly opposite of what Mr Morton told him to. Ergo..money lost. But when you view the text of the actual SEC litigation release (February 15, 2013) you clearly see that a significant amount of the funds were funneled into personal "shell" accounts held by Mr. Morton and his wife, Melissa. OOPS !! He forgot to mention that fact !
Here is the link:
https://www.sec.gov/litigation/litreleases/2013/lr22619.htm
A quick search finds another case, Saunders V Morton, where Mr Morton also was given a judgement against him in the amount of over $180,000.
Here is the link:
https://casetext.com/case/saunders-v-morton
I find it interesting that these were both default judgements. Mr Morton did not even show up to defend himself. Here is a copy of his reason :
Although the Court retains discretion to deny Saunders' request for default judgment, the Court sees no reason to recommend exercise of that discretion here. The Defendants, who apparently evaded service in this action, have not appeared and did not communicate with either the Court or Saunders in any way prior to defaulting on March 3, 2010. On April 6, 2010 — over a month after the entry of default — the Court received a sworn letter from one Susan Shumsky claiming that Sean Morton is an ambassador to the United States from the "Republic of New Lemuria," and that she is his "Executive Secretary." The letter argues that Morton's diplomatic status confers civil immunity upon himself and his wife, and that the repeated attempts to serve the Mortons constitute "harassment" that, in Shumsky's opinion, is "a clear violation of international law." (Doc. 44.)

Obviously, the court did not buy this and Mr. and Mrs. Morton were left with the default judgement as I stated above.
Apparently, Mr. Morton is going to defend himself ?? He stated this recent arrest is really nothing and that all charges will be dismissed.
In the meantime, he has a "go-fund-me" campaign which he mentioned during the interview..(wink, wink). Maybe some of you would kindly send him a few dinars ? He really wants to get his next book out !

The Strange Universe of Sean David Morton
Another fascinating show on Revolution Radio is a show called Strange Universe Radio, broadcasting 5 nights a week with host Sean David Morton, who has been described as a “Nationally Known Psychic”. At least, that’s what the Securities and Exchange Commission called him when they pinned a default judgement against Morton, his wife, and several of his enterprises. The SEC said:
“District Court Grants Securities and Exchange Commission’s
Motions for Default Judgment against a Nationally Known Psychic
and his Corporate Entities in Multi-Million Dollar Offering Fraud.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission) announced today that on February 11, 2013 the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York entered default judgments against Sean David Morton
(Morton), a nationally recognized
psychic who bills himself as “America’s
Prophet,” his wife, relief defendant Melissa Morton, and corporate shell
entities co-owned by the Mortons. In addition to ordering permanent
injunctions from violating anti-fraud and registration statutes and rule, each
defendant was ordered to disgorge, jointly and severally, $5,181,135.82,
along with prejudgment interest of $1,171,110.54, and pay a penalty of
$5,181,135.82 for a total of $11,533,382.18. Relief defendants Melissa
Morton and the Prophecy Research Institute, the Mortons’ nonprofit
religious organization, were ordered to disgorge $468,281 plus prejudgment
interest of $105,847.23, for a total of $574,128.23.”

Hermosa Beach Couple Arrested on Federal Charges Related to Tax Scam and Passing False ‘Checks’ and ‘Bonds’ to Pay Off Debts
LOS ANGELES – Two Hermosa Beach residents were taken into custody yesterday after being indicted by a federal grand jury on a host of charges related to a scheme to defraud the Internal Revenue Service, which included passing bogus checks and bonds as a way to pay off debt for themselves and others.
Sean David Morton, 58, and his wife, Melissa Ann Morton, 50, are expected to be arraigned this afternoon in federal court in Los Angeles on a 56-count superseding indictment that was returned by a grand jury on January 27. The couple was arrested by special agents with IRS - Criminal Investigation in San Pedro Sunday morning after disembarking from a “Conspira-Sea Cruise.”
According to the superseding indictment, Sean David Morton filed a series of false income tax returns for the years 2005 and 2010 that sought millions of dollars in refunds. Melissa Morton allegedly filed several false tax returns for the year 2007. The couple “caused multiple copies and multiple versions of their income tax returns to be submitted to various IRS service centers throughout the United States in 2009 and 2010,” according to the indictment, which alleges they attached false Forms 1099-OID to support their claims for refunds.
The indictment specifically alleges that Sean David Morton filed a false 2006 income tax return 2010 that requested a refund of $2,809,921, and that in 2012 he filed a document that sought a tax refund of $1,560,634 for 2006.
In relation to the scheme, the indictment alleges that Sean David Morton on multiple occasions submitted to the IRS documents he called “Coupon for Setoff, Settlement, and Closure” in the amounts of $5,286,867 and $8,429,763. “These fictitious financial instruments were a purported bond in exchange for the refunds they sought from the IRS,” according to the indictment.
“Those who try to defraud the tax system often try to use complicated ‘legal’ filings to hide their true goal – stealing money paid by other taxpayers,” said United States Attorney Eileen M. Decker. “IRS agents and federal prosecutors have the tools to investigate and prosecute these sophisticated schemes, which undermine the entire tax system and ultimately victimize law-abiding taxpayers.”
Melissa Morton allegedly presented to the IRS in 2010 a “Coupon for Setoff, Settlement, and Closure” in the amount of $44,450 as a purported bond in exchange for a $14,450 refund that she sought. And, in 2013, both defendants allegedly presented to the IRS two “Non-Negotiable Discharging Bond and Indemnity” in the amounts of $10 million for Sean David Morton and $600,000 for Melissa Morton.
In relation to the tax returns and other documents submitted to the IRS, the Mortons are each charged with one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States and two counts of making false claims to the United States.
The indictment also charges Sean David Morton and Melissa Morton each with 24 counts of presenting false and fictitious instruments and documents – specifically items called “Non-Negotiable Discharging Bond and Indemnity” – which purported to be actual securities and financial instruments issued under the authority of the United States. These documents were submitted to the IRS, the California Franchise Tax Board, banks, mortgage companies, student loan companies, and county tax collectors, supposedly as a means to pay off debt. Melissa Ann Morton was charged with 25 counts of presenting or passing these documents. The Mortons allegedly also assisted others in presenting these false and fictitious instruments in amounts as high as $1.5 million.
“Driven by insatiable greed and a blatant disregard for the tax code, Mr. and Mrs. Morton have a long history of allegedly filing bogus tax returns and fictitious instruments claiming fraudulent refunds,” stated Erick Martinez, Special Agent in Charge of the IRS - Criminal Investigation. “People who create elaborate schemes that have no purpose other than to defraud the IRS run the very high risk of prosecution.”
An indictment contains allegations that a defendant has committed a crime. Every defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty in court.
If they are convicted of the charges in the superseding indictment, Sean David Morton would face a statutory maximum sentence of 650 years in federal prison, and Melissa Morton would face a statutory maximum sentence of 625 years.
The investigation into the Mortons was conducted by IRS - Criminal Investigation.
