Is Fox News Anchor Clayton Morris A FRAUD? (Video Released)

Posted Oct 3 2019, 18:54

For those of you following the Clayton Morris / Morris Invest House of Cards starting to fall thread or other various threads I'd like to move the conversation over to this thread. As many of you know my team has been working on a full length film going over the story of the investors who have made fraud allegations against Clayton Morris and his company Morris Invest and their dealings with Bert Whalen and his company Oceanpointe. 

The video is still in production and is scheduled to be released soon. For now though I'd like you all to take a sneak peak at the trailer.

Is Fox News Anchor Clayton Morris A FRAUD? - Landlords From Hell 2 - #ThisIsHoltonWise Trailer

Show Notes:

#ThisIsHoltonWise is video series consisting of short clips that highlight the things we do & talk about here at Holton Wise. These clips are intended to give viewers a sneak peak at what they can expect when working with our team or viewing our full length video content.

Episode 2 of The Landlords From Hell Show is about the many stories circulating the news cycle alleging that former Fox News Anchor Clayton Morris and his company Morris Invest worked with Bert Whalen and his company Oceanpointe Investments to defraud investors in what has been called a real estate Ponzi scheme. In addition to providing insight into the media coverage James Wise speaks with alleged victims of Clayton Morris, Clayton Morris himself and other industry professionals including Jay Hinrichs, Meet Kevin, Indianapolis Property Managers and much more.

What a disgusting product. I get it, evictions are necessary at times being a landlord. However, there are some truly sad situations where I cant help but feel bad for those being evicted. Hardest eviction I had to do was a single mom with 3 kids who couldnt afford to pay rent after her husband died in a car accident and didnt have a penny to his name. I worked with the family for a while to try to make something work but in the end, I had to go thru the eviction process. I didnt love anything about doing it. Its just part of the job sometimes. To say, "I love evictions" makes me cringe

UPDATE:

YouTube has accepted my Copyright counter claim that Clayton's Copyright claim of my video is bogus. What this means is that he's now got 10 business days to get a court order to prevent me from putting the video back up. Seems like a pretty tough task to accomplish when you are hunkered down in Portugal avoiding the United States.

As a side note to the above has anyone seen the most recent Morris Invest video? It was released last night. It's titled "mistakes don't exist" Essentially it is Clayton Morris giving a monologue about mistakes being good for entrepreneurs and the world in general. He goes into some stories about Henry Ford loosing all of his investor's money not once, but twice and then some nonsense about Albert Einstein only figuring out E = MC² due to the mistakes he's made. Lol, sounds an awful lot like a guy who's trying to prep his audience for a storm as he knows his goose is cooked with this video coming out.

Since the video was produced by HoltonWiseTV you'll need to tag investors and bring them over here to this thread as BP advertising rules would remove any posting of it from a thread other than the Marketplace.

 Thanks Chris. Make sure you tag / share with other investors. We've got a lot of folks who were in some of the other threads that are trying to watch it, but in staying in line with BP's advertising policy I am only posting the links to it and HoltonWiseTV here in the BP Marketplace. So tag anyone in you feel would want to see it.

 lol thank you sir I appreciate that. This one is going to be good. We've got a newly discovered smoking gun that points to Clayton Morris and Clayton Morris alone. There is no way he can try to pass the blame for this particular piece of evidence off onto anyone else. Not Bert Whalen, not the investors, not HoltonWiseTV, not me, not the rest of the media. Clayton Morris is caught dead to rights in this video.
