Insurance settlements totaling at least $3 million may have been shifted from the estate of the late housekeeper of South Carolina attorney Alex Murdaugh, an attorney representing the state says, according to a report. Earlier this month, Bland filed a lawsuit on behalf of Satterfield’s estate, claiming that Murdaugh had mishandled $505,000 in known insurance proceeds, the newspaper reported. A suspect arrested in connection with the alleged plot, identified as Curtis "Fast Eddie" Smith, 61, claims he was set up by Murdaugh, The New York Post reported. The release of Murdaugh, pending further legal action, has left Satterfield’s sons "shell-shocked," attorney Ronnie Richter told Fox News on Friday. Murdaugh has been fired from the South Carolina law firm, PMPED, where he was a partner.
