MMP #25 - Taking On "The Firm" - Part One
“The law firm dropped the ball here…” Previously on the Murdaugh Murders Podcast, we told you about how Alex Murdaugh is accused of stealing more than $6.2 million in alleged schemes related to his fake FORGE accounts at Bank of America dating back to 2016. He’s accused of stealing millions of dollars from clients while he was a partner at the law firm started by his great grandfather - PMPED. But so far, PMPED has escaped accountability. While PMPED partners have been claiming to “make Alex’s victims whole,” it appears like something else was happening behind the scenes. On this episode, we speak with South Carolina attorney and lawmaker Justin Bamberg — who has stepped in the arena as a voice for victims. Bamberg says a lawsuit, and possibly a class action, is likely coming against PMPED. He asks any of Murdaugh’s former clients believing they were taken advantage of to call his law firm at 803-956-5088 or email him at pmpedmypockets@bamberglegal.com. As you know, we are a mission-driven podcast - we expose the truth wherever it leads. While accomplishing this mission we always take care to respect victims and we are sensitive to the traumatic nature of this story. We are also very sensitive to our fans - many of which have requested MMP merchandise. And so we listened and acted in the most respectful way possible...

MMP #22 - Alex Murdaugh Charged With 21 New Felonies
The disgraced South Carolina attorney, Alex Murdaugh, was hit with 21 new felonies from the state Grand Jury. His bond hearing — which was surrounded by skeptism — was postponed and that is a very big deal. In this episode, we discuss each one of the seven new indictments involving Alex’s alleged scheme and his new bond hearing which was mysteriously postponed. Sources have told us they expect to see hundreds of charges against Alex when all is said and done. Some sources have told us that this case is going to be the biggest case of fraud the state — and maybe even the country — has ever seen.

MMP #21 - Attorneys At War - Part One
Alex Murdaugh‘s “bulldog” defense attorneys, Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffin, have apparently launched a war on Satterfield family attorney Eric Bland. While this might seem like a giant distraction to some, it’s important to take a deeper look at these recent moves by Dick and Jim to figure out what exactly is going on here. Are they really trying to silence Eric Bland? Or is this just about egos? Lucky for us, Eric is not intimidated by the recent actions of the defense, and you’ll hear from him a lot this episode. You’ll also hear from attorney Lauren Fox, a South Carolina Bar member, for legal analysis on these recent jaw-dropping actions. Also in this episode, Liz Farrell and Mandy Matney cover the recent judge "switcharoo" in this case and what that could mean.

MMP #18 - How Many Crimes Will Alex Murdaugh Be Charged With? Part One
There are currently seven criminal investigations related to Alex Murdaugh and we'll review the salient points in each to capture a bird's eye view of this heinous saga. The Murdaugh name appears repeatedly in police interviews during the investigation of Stephen Smith's murder, but that was just the tip of the iceberg. In this episode, Investigative Journalist Mandy Matney reviews the funds Alex is alleged to have stolen from the Satterfield estate by false pretense, an obstruction of justice allegation stemming from the criminal investigation of Mallory Beach's death, his identification as a person of interest in the brutal murders of his wife and son, the alleged "suicide for hire" plot and resulting criminal charges, and the new reports of alleged ties to drug gangs, smugglers and perhaps beyond. Mandy also chats with attorney Eric Bland, representing the Satterfield family, share highlights from the ongoing investigations into Murdaugh's actions. To date, the Satterfield family has recovered over $6.5 million in settlements, with Murdaugh as the last remaining defendant at this time.
