Russell Lucius Laffitte is facing 21 criminal charges for allegedly working with disgraced attorney Alex Murdaugh to defraud victims of nearly $2 million.
State Judge Alison Lee set a $100,000 surety bond Thursday for Cory Fleming who is accused of conspiring with his close friend Alex Murdaugh to steal millions from an insurance settlement.
A grand jury indicted Alex Murdaugh and fellow attorney Cory Fleming on charges stemming from an alleged scheme to defraud the family of Gloria Satterfield out of millions after her 2018 death.
Boat crash survivors Miley Altman and Morgan Doughty accuse Alex Murdaugh and his slain wife Maggie Murdaugh of "knowingly and willfully' allowing there son Paul to purchase alcohol before the fatal 2019 crash.
Mark Tinsley, an attorney representing Mallory Beach’s mother Renee, and survivors Miley Altman and Morgan Doughty, filed the claims Monday in a Colleton County probate court against the estates of Maggie Murdaugh and Paul Murdaugh.
Alex Murdaugh is accused of defrauding even more former clients out of millions of dollars, including the estate of Hakeem Pinckney, a deaf man who became paralyzed after a car crash and later died.
State Grand Jury Judge Alison Lee denied the request to lower Alex Murdaugh's $7 million bond, saying the figure was "reasonable" because she believed Murdaugh “remains a flight risk and a potential danger to himself and the community.”
Alex Murdaugh has apologized for "his financial transgressions committed in connection with the wrongful death settlement funds recovered in connection with the death of Gloria Satterfield and the pain it has caused."
