Murdaugh Murders Podcast: The Big Picture Comes Into Focus (S01E60) 

Please don’t quit. Y’all are the only people calling out the corruption regarding this case. This is the best coverage of these crimes. We appreciate everything y’all are doing.

This episode had so many juicy details that I had to listen TWICE! The criminality runs so wide and deep in this case it like you are reporting on a SC Mafia! Great work, Mandy and Liz! 🌞

I’m beginning to wonder if Alex Murdaugh even earned his college degree or if he got in some kind of nefarious way.

I applaud 👏 this group of professionals! They are doing big things and going up against the corrupt government in SC is not easily done Truth and integrity is not in some of these disgusting people's minds 😤 Justice ⚖️ is coming slowly and people like Mandy and Liz are helping bring the truth to light Much respect MMP 🙏 👏

Good grief, the tentacles almost require a flow chart to follow. I've got a hurricane "spaghetti" model in my head over this!

I just can't wrap my head around it all. It's so big and reaches so far. How could it have grown like this. Wasn't there ever one good man to say "hey something is wrong here!" Pease don't quit. Keep going.

I just cannot get over how dead-eyed AM looks. He is scary looking.

That money that was transferred in Alex’s account wasn’t even the banks money. It was the CUSTOMERS money. They used their customers money that was entrusted to the bank to cover ONE customer’s overdraft. I’m quite sure that other small customers were charged overdraft fees and even had their accounts closed due to insufficient funds. This is disgusting.

Well, good morning. Who needs coffee when you have this piping hot episode of tea? Solid reporting y’all.

Serious question: does anyone really believe that Alex had an opioid addiction? Is it legit? That always sounded like a made up excuse and a plea for sympathy.

These gals reporting have bigger balls than Alex! Honest, truthful people fighting for fairness & what is right are a endangered species these days.... Real investigative reporters like this small group are vital & must be protected in our society! Y'all are true heros to this country, REALLY!🤓 From the heart, thank you!

Y’all stay safe

Mandy you & your team are amazing. Sunscribed

Thank you to the crew, I have been with you day 1 . Your factual, unbiased work is needed and appreciate .

For Harpootlian to open his statement by passionately saying "it is out GREAT HONOR" to represent Alex Murdaugh, (a known crooked theif) raised my brow n put him & Griffin in the same currupt circle as his client!

Please don’t stop what your doing. I know it is very depressing but your informing people all across the world. Continue your voice because it is making a difference. Thank you🥰

There has to be money in offshore accounts or maybe it's all under someones mattress. 🤣 Overdrawn 100,000 one week and two weeks after overdrawn again? Major money laundering... Thank you Mandy, Liz, and Derek for keeping us up to date. Stay safe!!! 🐾🕴️🕴️🕴️

The tentacles of this organization most likely go all the way to DC.

Whoever you are, you are brilliant and this is what real journalism looks like. Media with no ties to corruption. Thank you!

Oh my gosh, my head is spinning. I can't think all of you enough for your courageous coverage of these indeterminable amount of crimes committed by who knows how many people. This is mind-boggling, truly mind-boggling everything is so intertwined and interconnected and almost incestuous at many moves.

WOW! WOW! WOW! Amazing reporting. Thank you for your service!

I love the way my favourite “real life soap opera” starts, “I don’t know”. I’m sure we’ll all “know”, sooner than later.

One thing I have learned is very few people have the courage of their convictions. The price can be very high for doing the right thing. As long as you don’t expect to be rewarded for it , you’ll be okay. Stick with the people who really support you and admire you. ❤

Your reporting has been excellent, accurate and timely. I think your points, facts and opinions have been cogent As well as compelling. I live in Texas, have followed you from the beginning waiting every week for the next installment. That said, there are some legal differences between our states but with the addition of your legal eagles it all makes sense. You’ve not dumbed anything down please don’t start. I believe the majority of people following this case can figure things out without being spoon fed. Adding the Cup of Justice is the perfect accompaniment to MMP. Although I don’t have a dog in this fight, please continue to elevate and educate. Ty to the entire team for all the hard work. 🙌🤩❤️

What sickens me is that Harpo-Poot represented Paul in the boating accident case. When I saw both Griffin and Harpootlian as Paul's attorneys, I felt immediate anger that Alex and his gang seemed to be manipulating the law because they felt they were above the law. No shame in that family...none.

Your guys information on this Murdaugh(Murder- very similar lol) is so much more informative than other podcasts, news etc. I just watched the Netflix doco, & they missed so much. You guys shouldve been consultants on that, straight up. Plz keep up the good work.....

Wow, thanks so much for the honest reporting. I’d be a little worried about my safety in this area. Only the good lords knows just how deep this stuff goes. It’s sad people had to die, lots of people because of this family only for most of it to be covered up over & over again. I’m almost 1000% certain this same situation plays out across America. These scum bags are putting people away for life for much much less than any one of these men you are talking about. It’s absolutely messed up that people in positions of power can do whatever & get away with it.

Damn I’ve heard of 1 million people having to wear ankle braces, but I’ve never heard of anybody having to wear two of them from two different agencies.

How many of those guys earned a real law degree?

"nobody writes checks to their drug dealers" hahahaaaa

The tentacles of all of these crimes is so mind-blowing, I cannot even begin to comprehend.

Let me guess…Palmetto Bank approves loans for farm equipment purchased at John Marvin’s dealerships.

After listening to some of Alex's jailhouse phone calls, it seems like if Alex is talking, he is scamming. Poor Maggie.

Scary stuff and people you are uncovering; like someone else said, they are as big as the Mafia. Your work is superb and it is also what blew these cases wide open while the state A.G and deputy Creighton and his team go around accepting all the credit. At the very least, this podcast deserves a Pulitzer~!

Your research is incredible!

Well done,Mandy!!.. :)

Keep digging and shining a light on this mess! Pulitzer . . .

Regular people can't overdraw there account by more than $30 without having to pay a fine to the bank, how could Alec do it for that much money twice and then be covered by the bank, not Russell but the bank? This is sounding more and more illegal to me and I'm thinking he's going to get the ankle things off because he's going to be in a federal prison in my opinion

Alex was a better money manager/manipulator than he was an attorney.

If you have money in Palmetto State Bank, you better get it out...just saying Y'all!😳

This sounds like a RICO case.

Recently found you since I waited a long time to jump down this rabbit hole but I gotta say I am damn impressed. You guys' investigative journalism skills harken back to a better time for media & puts into sharp relief the fact that talking heads are empty heads. I'm 45 living in South Alabama. I get the smarmy slimy ways the good ol boys clubs work. I thought bama and georgia were bad but this makes even a cynic like me stop and clutch a pearl. You guys please be careful around those snakes. We need good guys like you all to keep shining a light on these situations. ❤from Bama

That's an awful lot for drugs for his personal addiction. Are there perhaps offshore secret accounts? Money hidden as as an escape plan' ?

Geez, Alex had to be making tons of money if he was into protecting drug gangs, where in the world is all that money? He must have millions hiding somewhere.

Didn't realize South Carolina was living with this "Good ole boy" system. This is the stuff nightmares are made of.

This corruption just gets bigger and more complex. I hope to God the FBI and DEA are both involved.

Yes, we all need a flowchart! 😊

Noone who thinks so highly of themselves would kill themselves for another's benifit....the stunt for sure had another reason...

This is another example of rules for thee and not for me . We have so much corruption in our judicial system it's mindblowing. The crimes committed by this family is still being unearthed. How many murders are tied to this family ?

Your reporting is so thorough and your voices are compelling to listen to especially yours Mandy. Keep doing your awesome work and may the light you shed continue to dispel the darkness!!

You asked one hell of a question at the end... So if I understand correctly, Russell and his father both get some of the biggest subsidies in the county for farming. Russell started making very obvious moves to cover up misdeeds. Both the Murdaugh and Laffite families are multigenerational wealthy families with close ties to each other and each other's businesses. So could Russell also be protecting his own father to prevent it from further unraveling. 🤔 Or could he have been told to make all of these moves by his father or Harpootlian. I think I might just have to look at all communications between him, Harpootlian, and his dad in and around August last year!

I hope Duffy has to "explain" somethings to the court.

This is so great! I hope u guys r going to continue investigating this! Very interesting doesn't quite explain how happy I am watching the real trolls get taken out of the game! Thank u!

These men were living the life. Biggest bank heist from within.

I've been following Murdaugh for several months now, but just found this particular podcast. Cannot express strongly enough how impressive your research and presentation are. His trial put in full display the disgusting degree of power and usurpation practiced throughout these official's reaches. You have " nailed it" repeatedly. Please don't stop.

AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME INVESTIGATIVE WORK!!! Keep up the good work. GOD bless you! Stay strong and safe👍👀🌷

Just picturing Duffy Moon walking away from Alec has given me the laugh I needed today. Lol Thank you for all you have done. Digging and Digging in the name of truth & justice !

After hes found guilty, the powers that be need to look at every case he was involved in, every piece of paper he touched, every person he ever talked too or looked at. ... This waste of space, oxygen thief has corrupted every facet of life hes been involved in

Money laundering so the alleged drug trafficker could say the money they had was legally obtained through the recently created partnership.

Fine job on these podcasts! Very , very clearly and slowly and softly spoken allow for gradual and clear understanding for the listener. I totally CELEBRATED over the guilty on all 4 counts and repeatedly listening to Judge Newmann’s lecture and statement of sentence. Now my hope is that All clients get the $ Alex stole; that Buster is somehow sorted and recognizes what his father really did and overhauls his own personality and repents; that every one of the 90+ cases waiting to be heard all work out to clearly expose Alex and make things right with those victims of Alex; that every single cent Alex hid is found and ripped from him and distributed to The Many Victims of Alex Murdaugh; that the truth comes out about EVERYTHING his brothers may have helped Alex with to cover his guilt -if they did help him out- ; That Buster’s girlfriend dumps him FAST and becomes sn honest attorney; That Buster never gets back into any law school; that Alex does not run scams in prison and financially prosper; That the dead girl’s family gets what they need. Just for starters. Keep up the stellar reporting and research. Good luck on your new happy relationship and kudos to your two partners and I think you also worked with Eric Alun. He seems very solid as well.

Lover your programs, they are very informative, and witty ….

I’m not worried about the sound. I am confident you all will relay the info.

I've only been following this for a week and I don't know if I'll ever understand all of it.. It's Deep.

Great work!!!

Whose going down next? We know there are others.

Now we knew how he paid his Attorneys in my opinion

Fair to say Alex was not only satisfying his own drug habit, but also no doubt also responsible for distribution and sales of the drugs they were running through that state and fanning out beyond borders. Still surprised why he didn’t have more disposable monies in addition to the bunch he stole from all of his clients...

I hope you girls have security guards with you at all times!!

"I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country... corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed." ~ Abraham Lincoln

I suspect that the money went to drugs and a whole lot of payoffs. No one is mentioning the payoffs as a source of where the money went. Then there is the lifestyle and all his properties. His monthly overhead had to be huge!

Sending peace and love to MMP. Happy Holidays and wishing you guys a prosperous new year.

Very good podcast , keep us in the know like you always do , THANK -YOU

You need to do a white board on this story.

I think illegal gambling has a lot to do with the money. I think the entire family and members of his circle was involved. Possibly why he couldn’t use that as an explanation to where the money went and instead blamed it on a drug addiction. I think he would’ve brought down everyone.

I admire y'all for all you've done over the years in exposing the deep corruption and abuse of power in your state. I'm always amazed at the connections you uncover and stories you tell.

I still do not understand why Maggie’s wedding ring was not found by police as her house keeper found it after the murder,and the fact that Alex wanted her to come to Mosell to go visit his mom and Pop, her sister knew things were not right and thinking they would patch things up…. Instead she was murdered by a addict and liar?????

Russel owns a lot of farmland down there. Does the Gov't still have loans available to help start-up farmers, minoritys, etc? That was a hot thing in the 90's where just about anybody could get very low interest loans from the Gov't to buy land and start farming/ranching. Would be interesting to see how many of those loans were spread around down there and how many minorities were even aware of it. It wasn't advertised. Only way to find out about it was to walk into FHA office and start talking loans and claim minority status, but, who knew?

Any new jailhouse phone calls made by Alex to anyone, including Buster?

there is people like this all over the south ...

I am concerned for your safety each time I listen to your video. Please be careful. You guys are my kind of people. Honestly, when it is not popular is so hard, but honestly, when it’s big time criminals is scary! I pray for you guys! Everyone out there that believes, please join with me!

Dick Harpootlian is more crooked n currupt than Alex. As Senator he's got all the power he needs to get away with anything.

Can someone please tell me how Russell Laffitte is related to Dr H L Laffitte?

Great Writing " Duffey "MOON WALKED HIS WAY AWAY FROM ALEX.

You are doing a super amazing job trying to bring justice about. I'm astounded at your absolute bravery with so many people in high places who would no doubt try and silence you in SC. We take our hat off to you all. From Australia with love 👏👏👏 keep on keeping on. You're as brave and courageous as the Ukrainian soldiers who are fighting for DEMOCRACY

Im watching this POST verdict. There is still so much corruption to be exposed, not to mention, murder! It wouldnt surprise me if Buster also ends up in jail for his role in the Stephen Smith murder. Keep going you guys!! We're ALL behind you! 💖

"hot Cory summer!" I died 🤣

These guys really make South Carolina shine and sure are great campaign players for Nikki whatshername if she runs for president 😸😹😹😹😹😹😹

As Alex pleas not guilty to most of those changes than admittes it on the stand. Can't wait to see the web of lies coming up for these charges

16:56 you’de also be good at voice overs in political commercials lol I find it so interesting you mentioning you almost quit? (I’m going through something quite similar) but wanted to say you are the best at investigating this , I feel anyone’s ever come across -definitely on the public front I know you can’t hear this enough but Thank you for all, that all of you do -it’s truely breathtaking

Basic question says it all, why would a young(ish)personal injury lawyer be a volunteer solicitor? It’s not like he was an older semi-retired lawyer with relevant experience looking to give back to the community. It’s not like he was looking to get experience for a better job. So.....

Does anyone know if AM next 90 charges will be televised via court proceedings?

I’m from Pensacola Fl, I love this podcast, great work! I have been following this case! I was raised in sm southern town in Alabama & the good ol boys try to rule! Not as bad as AM! Thank you for exsposeing him

This corruption is so blatant n blarsay, like they absolutely knew no one would call them out 🤔😢. Till the boat accident and everything started to unravel. But would it have without you 🤔. And that's a concerning thought!!! I'm in little far away New Zealand, but this makes me think 🤔. Is this happening here.... Well done by the way, you and your amazing team are doing an extraordinary job ♥️

My answer to almost everything so far is oh yeah! This Duffy situation is something different to me however, it seems like he's too beholden to too many Murdaugh's likely including Randy and too many defense attorneys including Alec's defense Attorney right after he was Paul's which seems like it would be a conflict of interest for Dick, but also the first person to call in anunalivement of his Wife and Son would always be a suspect so Duffy shouldn't have ever been there but the FBI should've been called in right away in my opinion

So disgusting. Thank you for all your work! I hope they get every single one of these horrific people to serve long terms in prison.

I think Lyndsey Graham may be compromised

What tremendous achievement as reporters you are🥇🌟🥇🌟

What happened to the Guns, the murder clothes?

If he can murder his own child, he's capable of anything. He isa man ice cold monster.

YOU ARE STONE- COLD FABULOUS, THE WAY YOU PHRASE THIS NARRATIVE IS TOP-TIER.
