A South Carolina federal judge recently dismissed an attempt by lawyer Alex Murdaugh, who is also a convicted murderer, to have the U.S. government take over control of his assets. These assets are currently under the management of two receivers. Murdaugh claimed that these receivers were taking advantage of their roles in his ongoing fraud case for personal gain.
This decision by the judge puts a halt to Murdaugh’s effort to redirect control of his assets away from the two receivers, who he accuses of exploiting their authority. It’s important to note that the receivers have been implicated in a highly contentious fraud case involving Murdaugh.
