Disgraced Attorney Alex Murdaugh Indicted on 22 Federal Fraud Charges for Stealing Millions

Murdaugh allegedly schemed for years to steal settlement money from personal injury clients through fake fees and redirecting funds to his accounts.
Murdaugh conspired with a friend and fellow attorney to steal $3.5 million from his late housekeeper's insurance settlement without her family's knowledge.
The charges allege Murdaugh engaged in decades of fraudulent activity and abused the trust of his clients and the public.
Murdaugh is already serving life in prison for murdering his wife and son but now faces a total of 124 state and federal charges.
Murdaugh's attorneys say he is cooperating with investigators and anticipates the charges may be resolved without trial, though he faces severe penalties if convicted.
