  • From Banker to Thief: Russell Laffitte Finally Admits to Murdaugh Scheme

    From Banker to Thief: Russell Laffitte Finally Admits to Murdaugh Scheme
    Apr 18 2025
    From Banker to Thief: Russell Laffitte Finally Admits to Murdaugh Scheme The Banker Finally Blinks After two years of pretending he just didn’t know any better, former Palmetto State Bank CEO Russell Laffitte has finally admitted what everyone else already knew: he’s a crook. In a guilty plea deal made public this week, Laffitte confessed to six criminal counts, copping to a scheme with Alex Murdaugh that laundered and stole at least $3.5 million from vulnerable clients over an 11-year stretch. That’s more than a decade of playing dumb while using his bank like a personal vending machine for fraud. But unlike previous courtroom performances, Laffitte now admits he wasn’t just “naive” or “misled.” He knew exactly what he was doing—and it was illegal. This is a major shift from the story Laffitte has been trying to sell since the walls started closing in. Back in his 2022 trial, the man spent five hours on the stand denying everything but bad judgment. He painted himself as the village idiot of banking, manipulated by Murdaugh into funneling millions out of client settlements without understanding what was going on. He even pulled the classic “not intentionally” line when asked if he’d helped Murdaugh steal. But now, in black and white, Laffitte is admitting he did help. Intentionally. Repeatedly. And he knew it was against the law. This admission changes everything—especially for the people he hurt. It also spares them from enduring a second trial that would’ve rehashed painful memories and exposed them to more cross-examinations from Laffitte’s legal team. Instead of dragging them through that again, Laffitte gets five years. It’s a cut from the seven-year sentence he was serving before his conviction was overturned on a technicality. And it’s a far cry from the nine to eleven years prosecutors were originally gunning for in their 2023 sentencing memo. That memo was brutal. Prosecutors said what made Laffitte stand out wasn’t just the crimes—plenty of people commit bank fraud—it was the audacity to lie about it over and over. They detailed how Laffitte had spun tales in a civil deposition, during a disciplinary review, at his bond hearing, and at trial. And even after a jury found him guilty, he still tried to appeal, blaming everyone but himself. But now, thanks to this plea deal, there will be no retrial, no appeals, and no last-ditch arguments about ineffective legal counsel. Laffitte has waived all of it. It’s a legal dead-end for him and a sigh of relief for prosecutors and victims alike. And let's talk about the company he kept. Laffitte wasn’t pulling these moves with some faceless fraudster—he was in business with Alex Murdaugh, arguably South Carolina’s most radioactive defendant. By the time Laffitte’s case came up for a retrial, Murdaugh was already a convicted murderer and convicted thief. The idea of facing a jury while being tied at the hip to that guy? Not a good look. In the background of all this are the stories of the people they stole from. The Plyler sisters, Hannah and Alania, had their settlement money drained. Natarsha Thomas lost $350,000. Arthur Badger, left to raise six children after his wife’s death in a crash, had over a million siphoned from his rightful settlement. Laffitte helped reroute that money through his bank into accounts he and Murdaugh controlled, like some twisted game of Monopoly where the victims always lost and the banker pocketed Boardwalk. Emails between Laffitte and Murdaugh discussing Badger’s money were described by attorney Mark Tinsley as especially damning. Which is why, Tinsley says, this guilty plea isn’t a surprise—it’s damage control. For the victims and their attorneys, this deal is about more than just prison time. It’s closure. It’s avoiding another public trial. And most importantly, it’s proof in writing that Laffitte wasn’t just a clueless banker caught in the crossfire—he was an active, informed participant in a massive fraud. Now, even as he faces civil lawsuits where he continues to deny responsibility, his federal guilty plea will hang around his neck like a cement necktie. Because no matter how many depositions he gives, the ink on that 10-page agreement doesn’t lie. Russell Laffitte may have spent years denying, deflecting, and dodging the truth. But this week, he finally ran out of exits. #AlexMurdaugh #RussellLaffitte #PalmettoStateBank #WhiteCollarCrime Want to listen to ALL our podcasts AD-FREE?

  • Alex Murdaugh Murder Appeal Delayed 120 Days – Here’s What Happens Next

    Alex Murdaugh Murder Appeal Delayed 120 Days – Here’s What Happens Next
    Apr 16 2025
    Alex Murdaugh Murder Appeal Delayed 120 Days – Here’s What Happens Next
    In this episode, we’re diving into the latest twist in the Alex Murdaugh murder appeal—the South Carolina Supreme Court’s unexpected decision to grant prosecutors a 120-day extension to respond. With the new deadline now set for August 8, 2025, Murdaugh's defense team is sounding the alarm, accusing the Attorney General’s Office of stalling and mismanaging the case. The State, on the other hand, claims “extraordinary circumstances” justify the delay, pointing to a massive 6,000-page trial record and staff turnover.
    This isn’t just a boring scheduling change—it’s a courtroom clash that exposes just how complicated, politically sensitive, and high-stakes this appeal really is. The defense argues the longer this drags out, the longer Murdaugh sits in prison on what they claim was a structurally flawed trial. Prosecutors say they need time to do it right. Legal analysts say it’s rare to see such a public fight over an appellate deadline, especially one involving a case this notorious.

    We break down what this extension means, how it affects the timeline of the appeal, and what it tells us about the strategies on both sides. From the controversial role of court clerk Becky Hill to the looming oral arguments in late 2025 or early 2026, this delay sets the tone for what could be one of the most consequential appellate rulings in South Carolina history. Subscribe now for all the updates as this legal saga continues to unfold.

The worst defense mony can buy!!!

Alex Murdaugh hired two good friends to represent him!!! I would highly recommend you never hire friends to represent you in a murder trial!!! Dickie meandered his way through cross examination and I was more confused with his questioning but perhaps that was the point.
