“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 [email protected].

The podcast discusses disturbing accounts of how P&P ED law firm is handling the victims in the case against Elick Murdoch, who is accused of stealing more than $6.2 million in fake forge accounts at Bank of America since 2016.
The speaker discusses the improbability of receiving a loan with 0% interest and touches on the importance of considering the history of a potential law firm before hiring them. They also mention the fallout from a case of missing money.
An attorney for the law firm that represented Alex Murdoch's clients says that the contract for legal representation was between the client and the law firm, not the client and Alec Murdoch. Murdoch was accused of taking money from the state's largest personal injury firm; after the fraud allegation surfaced, over 20 of his former clients filed charges against him for stealing money that was meant to compensate them for their injuries.
Justin Bamberg, lawyer of Alex's alleged victims, questions the P&P ED Partners' claim of being unaware of Alex's fraudulent activities, as one of Bamberg's clients received a threatening call from the firm, contradicting their statement that they only found out about Alex's fake accounts on September 2nd.
Lawyer Katie Phang suggests that the need for a lawsuit in response to the Murdoch family pay out will depend on whether the firm will take full responsibility and compensate everyone impacted, including working-class people and minority communities.
