Read Investors say ex-‘Fox & Friends’ host turned them into unwitting slumlords by (Indianapolis Star)
Clayton Morris, a former Fox News co-host, is accused of selling novice investors uninhabitable rental properties.

A quick Google search on “Clayton Morris” shows that this scandal hasn’t caught up with him. Only about two hits in the top twenty mention this issue, so he could potentially be profiting from his alleged scheme.
