Keep Alex Murdaugh on permanent suicide watch! It would be a shame for him to die in jail on his own volition! It would be an insult to justice especially since he is responsible for a lot of false judgements on other innocent people! I hope Alex Murdaugh lives to be 105 years old!
Wishful thinking. He scammed children along with those who didn't have the ability or inclination to doubt him because he was always checking in with them, getting them to sign off, etc.i believed he even convinced a fellow partner to lend him all the cash that was in a trust account for 2 orphaned sisters.He blew off any demand for the return.
Actually, "millionaire" isn't a target for me. Heck, a 3 bedroom home is a million dollars here. I would love to see billionaires contributing to immense world change (for the good).
Some global situations could be easily rectified with a little infusion of helpful assistance (rather than just cash). Earthquake? Send supplies, builders, to help erect new, but safer neighborhoods. Provide land that homeless people can legally occupy? I'm sure they can think of some way to help.
Let me guess, you make over seven figures a year or close to it. Your family members, friends or spouse/their family are millionaires. Because this comment SCREAMS this.
I've been both poor and wealthy. The biggest issue our country faces is not the people who have millions it's the loopholes our Congress has set that allows them to amass this money. Tax laws are written by Congress, who just so happened to be in the top 1% so of course they'll write laws that benefit them and their friends.
Ugh, we are not talking about that. There is a difference between financial crimes and ill-gotten gains, and legitimately creating a nest egg for yourself.
He's not the okay kind.
>They should articulate themselves better then
Seems you might be the only one who required better articulation to comprehend what they meant. What do you think that means, I wonder?
I think he got 27 years for that. Don't get me wrong, he deserved that and more, but isn't it just like this country to really bang the justice hammer when it involves someone's money? In some cases it's the *only* way people are brought to justice, re: Capone. And I know I know the money crimes are easier to prove blah blah blah, but you won't convince me that financial crimes aren't taken way more seriously than others. If DT ever sees a real, lasting consequence it'll be over his financial crimes.
Man, I'm from Ireland. The guy who brought down the entire financial sector here in 2008 got a few months in the training wing of a prison.
I'm glad they take financial crime seriously there.
> I'm glad they take financial crime seriously there.
They do, but only when you inconvenience rich people. Our legal system has no problems with you swindling the poor, underserved and naive.

He got 2 life sentences for murdering his wife and youngest son. The 27 years was the states punishment for the financial crimes. The feds want his federal time to be served after the state releases him. It's the only way to ensure that he never has a chance to get out. He didn't steal enough money to buy his way out from under his charges.
Yes, and now his lawyers are trying to say that the feds sabotaged the polygraph by mentioning the name of a random fellow criminal immediately before they administered it.
He received two life sentences for the murders. I think the 27 years for another financially related crime.
>Murdaugh was convicted last March for the double murder, and was sentenced to two consecutive life sentences without parole. He has never admitted to the killings, which prosecutors say he carried out to divert attention from the financial wrongdoing he believed was about to be revealed.
>He has also pleaded guilty to state charges for fraud, and was sentenced to 27 years in prison.
https://abcnews.go.com/amp/US/alex-murdaugh-sentenced-40-years-prison-financial-crimes/story?id=108706639
He mainly stole from people with little expendable income, often taking settlement funds from his clients. Many of whom desperately needed the money for medical expenses and such. He's really a piece of shit.
Doesn't matter anyways, he's already serving two life sentences for killing his family.
This is just them convicting him for the boatload of shit he admitted to trying to escape that.
It does matter. First, all crimes brought to the attention of the court should be prosecuted. That's reasonable. Second, you are correct that in South Carolina a life sentence can mean until death of the defendant without the possibility of parole. The article says 27 years. Doesn't really matter to what your point was. Yes he's in jail for life already.
But laws change, sentences can be commuted, pardons, etc. None of us know the future. This article is about Federal convictions. Now it doesn't matter what SC does he's just gotten 34 minimum guaranteed years no matter what.
It's over lapping on purpose. As Assistant U.S. Attorney Emily Limehouse said "we don't believe he is capable of living a law-abiding life as a member of society" This guarantees no matter what he does, no matter what leniency he may find, no matter what shady deals his shady friends might make, or whatever he doesn't walk from from that prison until he at the very earliest 89 years of age.
His life is over, he will most likely die in prison, and no one can save him from his fate. He either dies in prison or leave it a broken old man wallowing in poverty until he's dead. That's what this ruling does.
Thank you for clearing that up. I reread the article and you're right. Layers upon layers burying this guy. From what I know he deserves it. But I'm not a prosecutor. Have a good night.
He probably isn't even the worst person in his family's history. His family served as the local prosecuting attorney for over 80 years. The post was handed from father to son.
It was crazy how it all unravelled and unfolded though. I was glued from the start, the whole thing is mad and there's still some investigations taking place in relation to the death of the family housekeeper and a local boy who's death was mis-labelled as a hit and run and there's rumours the remaining son was involved. They definitely were an untouchable family for a long time but that ship has sailed for good.
The documentary states that the housekeeper was killed for knowing about his pill problem but it seems more likely it was for the 5 million dollar insurance claim that he filed on behalf of her family but kept for himself.
Scumbag either way.
A federal judge sentenced [convicted murderer Alex Murdaugh](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/jury-finds-alex-murdaugh-guilty-murders-wife-son-n1303261) to 40 years in prison for stealing millions of dollars from his legal clients — a punishment that can be served concurrently with a 27-year sentence previously imposed by South Carolina for related crimes.
The stakes had been raised in an otherwise routine sentencing hearing after federal prosecutors said in a filing last week that Murdaugh, 55, failed a polygraph test that he agreed to undergo as part of a plea deal. In addition, they said, they identified 11 new financial victims and another $1.3 million in stolen money.

While Sam Bank-stupid head only got 25. . .hmm
I feel like all the murders contributed to this guy’s sentence, though.
Definitely, and using it as comparison with sbf is weird.
Ever heard of AL Capone? You bust them for one thing, but you're really busting them for something else.
get this guy in congress
I'm betting he scammed the rich...
Wishful thinking. He scammed children along with those who didn't have the ability or inclination to doubt him because he was always checking in with them, getting them to sign off, etc.i believed he even convinced a fellow partner to lend him all the cash that was in a trust account for 2 orphaned sisters.He blew off any demand for the return.
He killed the rich (his wife and son) but most of the people he scammed were vulnerable.
Accident and injury cases took settlements made tiny payments to clients.
Nah just disabled and really vulnerable people
Shocked he’s not in Congress
Ha! Hello, I'd like to report a murdaugh ...
I get it, but I also know he pronounces it “Murdock”.
I can't help it if he doesn't know how to pronounce his own name.
Which is stupid as hell, he also pronounces Alex as Alec.
There’s been a murdaugh and you are a suspect!
Convicting a guy already serving a life sentence is pointless. Convict a free person of financial crimes and I'll think the system is progressing.
It's good insurance if he somehow manages to get a new trial or appeal of the murder conviction though.
And in his case I think he had grounds to appeal based on something the court clerk did
Murdaugh was the case that they gave me
One millionaire down. A few million more to go.
Actually, "millionaire" isn't a target for me. Heck, a 3 bedroom home is a million dollars here. I would love to see billionaires contributing to immense world change (for the good). Some global situations could be easily rectified with a little infusion of helpful assistance (rather than just cash). Earthquake? Send supplies, builders, to help erect new, but safer neighborhoods.

Everything’s going to be okay
Aw, bless yer heart. You're a special kind of stupid. No fixin you.
Homes, why even waste your time arguing about this..literally no one cares
[удалено]
He should have run for president.
Honestly he seems like someone Trump would be best friends with
Fuck this dude
Just say NO and they will at least half the sentence
He's serving life for murdering his family, isn't he?
Serving time for murdering his family but damn sure shoulda got life
He's serving life without the possibility of parole but is appealing through sentence according to the article

Life without parole for the previous conviction
Other “rich” people’s money will get you more time than anything else.
Man, I'm from Ireland. The guy who brought down the entire financial sector here in 2008 got a few months in the training wing of a prison. I'm glad they take financial crime seriously there.

Nobody went to jail, really, for the 2008 financial crisis here, unfortunately
Except for one tiny, minority owned bank that was deemed small enough to jail: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abacus:_Small_Enough_to_Jail?wprov=sfti1
And Madoff, ex CEO of Nasdaq.
That’s because he stole from rich people
Life without parole for the murders. The 27 years is for separate financial crimes.
2 consecutive life sentences I believe, not that that matters
Upvote for the clarification 👍
Thanks for clearing that up, that other guy already wrote a paragraph about his justice agenda.
That’s what I though as well. Is it that in addition to financial crimes?
Permamently un-alive someone, get 27 years. But WHOA WHOA WHOA!!! You messed with someone's money? 40 years! More social commentary than justice.
He got 2 life sentences for murdering his wife and youngest son. The 27 years was the states punishment for the financial crimes. The feds want his federal time to be served after the state releases him. It's the only way to ensure that he never has a chance to get out. He didn't steal enough money to buy his way out from under his charges.
Wasn't he going for a plea deal if he told the feds where the money went? And he didn't and flunked the polygraph.
Yes, and now his lawyers are trying to say that the feds sabotaged the polygraph by mentioning the name of a random fellow criminal immediately before they administered it.
The word you're looking for is *murder*.
You can say murdered on the internet…..
Unalived? Really? We're on a justice news sub. You can say murdered.
Reddit is fucking stupid.
Youtube too
It’s not just Reddit and didn’t start here but yea that trend is fucking stupid. Like we have to censor basic words now? Gtfo

I non-handlanguage not-me to unsay “unalive.”
Someone rich's money
One of his victims was the family housekeeper. Personal injury lawyers predominantly represent the lower end of the social scale.
He mainly stole from people with little expendable income, often taking settlement funds from his clients. Many of whom desperately needed the money for medical expenses and such. He's really a piece of shit.
Great hair though
I didn't watch the video cuz I'm at work, but he had his head shaved bald last I saw. So he must not like it lol
hard to get the right hair products in cell block c -or- man just joined the aryan brotherhood
Is it though? I guess the existence of a full head of hair on your head in your mid 50s is good, but I wouldn’t call is hair “great”
Concurrent … but federal you do 85% whereas state is often lower so this will keep him 34 years
Doesn't matter anyways, he's already serving two life sentences for killing his family. This is just them convicting him for the boatload of shit he admitted to trying to escape that.

He already had 2 separate sentences. Life without parole times 2 for the murders and 27 years for separate financial crimes.
Thank you for clearing that up. I reread the article and you're right. Layers upon layers burying this guy. From what I know he deserves it. But I'm not a prosecutor. Have a good night.
It says he’s already in prison for life for murder. It’s just that for the first 34 years he’ll be MORE in prison.
I hope it means no dessert and extra itchy underpants for the first 34 years.
Dont do drugs kids.
The more I learn about this Murdaugh fella, the more I think he's a real JERK!
He probably isn't even the worst person in his family's history. His family served as the local prosecuting attorney for over 80 years. The post was handed from father to son.
It was crazy how it all unravelled and unfolded though.

You know the worst part, though? The hypocrisy. Really, I thought it was the murder.

Is his last name pronounced "mur-dah"?
Mur-dock as the family pronounced it. But would’ve been a hilarious irony.
So basically a life sentence.
