For Psychic, Suit Came as Surprise

You know there’s a problem when your money manager:

  • Claims to be today’s Nostradamus;
  • Names his company, Magic Eight Ball Distributing;
  • Runs a website with wellness products like “Holy Tea.”

According to the SEC and The New York Times, “America’s Prophet” may be “America’s Fraud.” You can find a copy of the lawsuit against Sean Morton by clicking his name. He’s the Svengali in question. What I don’t get is how a money manager can raise $6 million from 100 investors with nothing but a smile and a cloudy crystal ball.
