The 22-count indictment includes charges of conspiracy to commit wire and bank fraud, bank fraud, wire fraud and money laundering, and alleges that Murdaugh engaged in three different plots to take money and property from personal injury clients over the course of years. According to a news release announcing the charges, in one scheme that ran from 2005 to 2021, Murdaugh allegedly worked to defraud and take money from clients who received settlement funds.
Alex Murdaugh listens to testimony during his trial for murder at the Colleton County Courthouse on Feb. 10, 2023, in Walterboro, South Carolina. In a second plot, Murdaugh allegedly conspired with his banker, Russell Laffitte, for at least a decade to commit wire and bank fraud. The indictment alleges that Laffitte,for his role in the scheme in 2022, served as Murdaugh's personal representative for personal injury clients. In this role, Laffitte collected over $350,000 in fees.
In a third alleged scheme, Murdaugh created a bank account, called"Forge," in Sept. 2015. Murdaugh allegedly presented the account as a legitimate corporation for structuring insurance settlements, and from in or around May 2017 through at least July 2021, he allegedly funneled stolen personal injury settlements through the account. Fourteen of the charges against Murdaugh, all for money laundering, are related to this account, for which Murdaugh was the only authorized signer.
