DOJ asks court to toss Alex Murdaugh appeal on federal financial crimes
Fox News
Justice Department lawyers are asking a federal judge to throw out Alex Murdaugh's appeal in an $11 million fraud case involving 27 victims and his own firm.
"For more than 15 years, he spun a complex web of exploitation, manipulation and deceit, preying on highly vulnerable victims in pursuit of his own financial gain," federal prosecutors wrote in a motion to dismiss the appeal filed in federal court Thursday.
Murdaugh stole a total of $10,901,547.32 from his own clients and legal partners, routing settlement money to his own bank accounts and later laundering more than half of it, prosecutors wrote. He pleaded guilty to 22 federal financial crimes in September 2023.
