SEC charges "America's Prophet"

[REWahoo]

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission sued [Sean David] Morton, 51, on Thursday on civil fraud charges, accusing him of fraudulently raising more than $6 million from more than 100 investors for Delphi Investment Group in 2006 and 2007.

"In soliciting these individuals, Morton claimed that he would use his psychic expertise to provide investment guidance to his investment team, and falsely touted his historical success in psychically predicting the various rises and falls of the market," the complaint filed in Manhattan federal court said.

It is rumored Morton told the SEC "I knew this would happen."

So what makes this guy different from so many other feather merchants?

His transparency and chutzpa maybe?

You have to admire a financial guru who put his investor's money in a couple of shell companies named "27 Investments" and "Magic Eight Ball". Plus, he stated in one of his 2006 newsletters "I have called ALL the highs and lows of the market, giving EXACT DATES for rises and crashes over the last 14 years."

Judging from the kind of investors he [-]wanted[/-] attracted, I suspect that if he didn't tell them then they wouldn't have been able to figure it out.

Anyone with a Hulbert subscription want to look up this guy's record?

Well, he DOES call his investment company, Delphi. Maybe he sits over the fumarole and inhales the fumes?
