Murdaugh Legal Drama: Attorneys For Mexican National Allege ‘Criminal Enterprise’
Pleadings claim Alex Murdaugh’s former law partners “vicariously liable” for his conduct …

How Hampton’s PiMPED and Palmetto State Bank are still in business is anyone’s guess. A law firm and a bank enabling deception, breach of trust, fraud and theft of millions is beyond comprehension. Murdaugh’s part-time job was as an attorney … his real full-time job was steering his criminal operations, and it started at the very beginning of his law career. There is still much more to Murdaugh’s story – and his accomplices – than anyone could imagine.
It is inconceivable that Murdaugh embezzled and stole money from PMPED and clients; that PMPED didn’t know what was happening until that check to the bogus Forge account fell to the floor during the first of September 2021.
Palmetto State Bank has a very lenient overdraft policy and overdraft fees. Murdaugh’s PSB account was routinely overdrawn by hundreds of thousands of dollars, and was just an overdraft fee of five dollars!
I’ve wondered that many times. How is it possible that they had NO clue?? I seriously doubt that. They tried to cut ties with Murdaugh as quickly as possible, and he was their scapegoat. Who knows, maybe they made a deal with him to take the fall.
PS: In one of the court documents, Murdaugh’s prison location was provided. That’s probably why Murdaugh was moved to a different prison (other FITSNEWS article).
Lawyers who have dealt with these guys in settlement mediations have observed for YEARS how the PMPED lawyers would show up, stick their client in a closed room who would never be seen again until the end of the mediation ( assuming settlement) as they walked out the door. Even the mediators were generally not allowed to walk back to observe the PMPED clients sign the settlement memorandum. It always made opposing counsel wonder if those plaintiffs ever knew what the actual amount of their settlement was – or if they were being told something else.
He’s still getting special treatment: undisclosed location. How long is that going to go on? Other inmates don’t have that privilege.
Also, stupid question time, would this mean Maggie was aware of the conspiracy?
