Sean Morton

Sean David Morton was a self-described psychic, ufologist and alleged remote viewer who referred to himself as "America's Prophet." Until legal troubles led to his incarceration in federal prison, he also hosted radio shows, authored books, and made documentary films about the paranormal. In 2010, Morton was charged with civil securities fraud. The director of the New York regional office of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) stated that "Morton's self-proclaimed psychic powers were nothing more than a scam to attract investors and steal their money." In 2016, Morton was indicted on federal tax-related charges, and was found guilty in April 2017. He served a federal prison sentence.
