The former CEO of a South Carolina bank, Russell Laffitte, was indicted for the first time Wednesday alongside Alex Murdaugh and Murdaugh’s close lawyer friend, Cory Fleming, in connection to an alleged money laundering scheme related to the family of a deaf quadriplegic man named Hakeem Pinckney.
It’s the first time 51-year-old Laffitte has been indicted in connection to the state grand jury’s investigation. He is charged with 21 counts for schemes to defraud victims of more than $1.8 million. One of the indictments alleges the ex-banker conspired to misappropriate to Murdaugh $309,581.46 in funds Laffitte held in trust as conservator for Hakeem L. Pinckney and his estate at Palmetto State Bank.
