Sean David Morton at sea

Post by tracer »

Apparently, pesudolaw nut Sean David Morton is out giving legal advice on the "ConspiraSea 2016" cruise:

Morton and his wife were arrested as they disembarked from the ConspiraSea cruise:

Oh! So this is old news, then. Huh. I thought the dates in this guy's blog were the dates the events he described were happening.

One of the comments to the blog post you linked mentions Morton's arrest. I thought it would be appropriate to highlight it. The Violent Metaphors blogger mentions the charges against Morton in his discussion of Day 7:

On Facebook, periodic references are being made to this cruise; and our very own Demosthenes has made some very excellent comments about it.

My wife and I are considering taking a round-the-world cruise in a few years; and this ship is one of the ones which makes that trip. If we got on board and found something like this going on, I'd stow away in the hold for the duration of the voyage.

I don't know how I managed to miss the first half of this sentence:

"Q probably has no idea that he was arrested by the IRS Criminal Investigation Division as soon as he got off the boat, or that he’s now facing over six hundred years of jail time for doing the same sort of things he advised his audiences to try for themselves."

I must have glossed over the word "arrested" and read it as "indicted" or something by mistake.

Does this somehow free him from legal risk, if he gives advice at Sea?

I presume he was arrested for things other than what went on at sea.

But human bodies have been referred to as vessels (somewhere); and thus a human body comes within the scope of admiralty law (or something like that).... So, Popeye Morton ought to be careful passing through the bulkhead of the courtroom compartment, because if he steps upon the wrong part of the deck, he subjects himself to the jurisdiction of the black-robed captain up on the bridge.

The Mortons were apparently found guilty on all counts.

And it appears that the Mortons used Karl Lentz material at the trial.

Well, that worked well didn't it???!!!! :snicker: If they were using Lentz's stuff there probably wasn't much a real lawyer could have done either. People stupid enough to use Karl's stuff are usually stupid enough to be guilty of what they're charged with.

Sean Morton faces up to 650 years in prison when he is sentenced June 19; Melissa Morton faces up to 625 years.
You Americans are hardass about jail time. We're lucky if tax evaders get a couple of years.

I still can't figure out how he didn't get 20 odd years for his "Psychic Investment Mutual Fund" scam. I'm too lazy to go looking right now if someone wants to refresh my memory.

Didn't find anything specifically on something called a Psychic Investment Mutual Fund, unless you mean what is referred to here? It mentions a trial date of April 4, 2017.

I also found this discussion of Morton from ufowatchdog.blogspot.com.
ufowatchdog wrote:a particular "psychic" who (once again) didn't see any of it coming.
Bonus?: picture of Morton.
