saw the murdaughs as part of her extended family 3 00:00:35,302 --> 00:00:37,602 so, when Alex came up to the boys 4 00:00:37,605 --> 00:00:39,835 at the funeral of their mother and said, 5 00:00:39,907 --> 00:00:43,407 "I'm going to pay you through my insurance, 6 00:00:43,411 --> 00:00:46,051 because your mother died on my property..." 7 00:00:47,114 --> 00:00:48,014 They believed him. 8 00:00:48,015 --> 00:00:50,015 They trusted him implicitly, 9 00:00:50,017 --> 00:00:52,717 that he was going to do the right thing by them. 10 00:00:54,688 --> 00:00:56,488 In 2019, 11 00:00:56,490 --> 00:00:59,730 when the boys find out that there's a settlement 12 00:00:59,794 --> 00:01:03,834 of over half a million dollars, they were shocked. 13 00:01:06,033 --> 00:01:07,933 Gloria's sons know nothing about him. 14 00:01:09,737 --> 00:01:11,767 [Anne Emerson] To understan the full picture here, 15 00:01:11,772 --> 00:01:13,572 we have to go back in time. 16 00:01:15,709 --> 00:01:20,949 In 2015, six years before the double murders of Paul and Maggie murdaugh 17 00:01:21,015 --> 00:01:23,515 Alex allegedly opened a bank account 18 00:01:23,517 --> 00:01:24,917 with bank of america, 19 00:01:24,919 --> 00:01:26,249 and it was called, "forge." 20 00:01:28,589 --> 00:01:34,059 Forge is also the name of a very legitimate group 21 00:01:34,095 --> 00:01:36,295 that handles these kind of settlement claims. 22 00:01:38,099 --> 00:01:42,799 [Man] Forge consulting is a settlement funding compan out of Atlanta 23 00:01:42,803 --> 00:01:45,673 for people who are coming into large settlements. 24 00:01:45,673 --> 00:01:47,673 It manages your money for you, in a sense, 25 00:01:47,675 --> 00:01:50,105 by doling out money in small amounts over time, 26 00:01:50,111 --> 00:01:52,811 rather than giving you a lump sum of money. 27 00:01:54,115 --> 00:01:56,475 So, any lawyer that hears the name forge 28 00:01:56,484 --> 00:02:02,354 is gonna immediately identify with forge consulting. 29 00:02:02,389 --> 00:02:06,959 [Michael virzi] That made I look as though the settlemen went through forge consultin 30 00:02:07,027 --> 00:02:10,157 in a legitimate, settlement funding annuity. 31 00:02:11,198 --> 00:02:13,928 But instead, that was his personal bank account. 32 00:02:17,705 --> 00:02:21,135 [Man] So after Gloria dies in 2018, 33 00:02:21,208 --> 00:02:24,378 Alex murdaugh approaches Gloria's sons 34 00:02:24,378 --> 00:02:29,478 and pitches them an idea to sue him, 35 00:02:29,483 --> 00:02:34,393 so that they can get wrongful death settlement money on her behalf 36 00:02:34,388 --> 00:02:36,418 and be taken care of financially. 37 00:02:38,225 --> 00:02:40,285 [Virzi] Alex did, in fact, represent them 38 00:02:40,294 --> 00:02:42,294 in the lawsuit against himself. 39 00:02:42,296 --> 00:02:43,826 It's ethically impermissible, 40 00:02:43,898 --> 00:02:45,328 but it's not physically impossible. 41 00:02:45,399 --> 00:02:46,299 He did it, 42 00:02:46,300 --> 00:02:47,730 with co-council Cory Fleming 43 00:02:51,372 --> 00:02:56,312 they would agree to be represented by Cory and Alex 44 00:02:56,310 --> 00:03:01,110 [man] But Alex did not make known to Tony satterfie 45 00:03:01,115 --> 00:03:04,215 that this was someone who he had been close to 46 00:03:04,218 --> 00:03:05,948 for the better part of three decades. 47 00:03:07,454 --> 00:03:11,594 [Virzi] And instead of bein loyal to his clients 48 00:03:11,592 --> 00:03:14,962 and making sure that Brian and Tony were taken care of, 49 00:03:16,096 --> 00:03:18,726 he apparently did whatever Alex told him to do 50 00:03:18,832 --> 00:03:21,032 Cory Fleming came to them and said, 51 00:03:21,134 --> 00:03:22,804 "this is complicated stuff. 52 00:03:22,803 --> 00:03:24,673 Let's get a business person involved. 53 00:03:24,672 --> 00:03:26,442 Let's get someone else to represent 54 00:03:26,473 --> 00:03:28,143 your mother's estate," 55 00:03:28,142 --> 00:03:31,012 because somebody has to go in front of the judge and say, "this is okay." 56 00:03:35,583 --> 00:03:38,583 [Emerson] And the boys say, "yes, of course. 57 00:03:38,586 --> 00:03:41,086 If we need to have a personal representative, 58 00:03:41,088 --> 00:03:42,688 we'll have a personal representative." 59 00:03:42,690 --> 00:03:46,390 So, we introduce a new character to this whole scenario, 60 00:03:46,393 --> 00:03:49,093 and that's a man named Chad westendorf. 61 00:03:49,096 --> 00:03:51,396 He's a vice president at palmetto state bank. 62 00:03:51,398 --> 00:03:54,598 He's a very powerful man in a powerful position. 63 00:03:56,303 --> 00:03:59,443 Once Chad westendorf is the personal representative 64 00:03:59,539 --> 00:04:02,309 he does not have to talk to the boys anymore 65 00:04:02,309 --> 00:04:05,039 about what's going on with the settlement money. 66 00:04:06,146 --> 00:04:08,246 That's the last the boys hear 67 00:04:08,315 --> 00:04:10,515 about where that money actually is. 68 00:04:16,090 --> 00:04:21,030 So within 24 hours of Chad westendorf taking on this new role, 69 00:04:21,028 --> 00:04:25,028 Cory Fleming files the first claim against Alex murdaugh 70 00:04:25,032 --> 00:04:28,102 for $505,000. 71 00:04:28,102 --> 00:04:31,302 But there were two insuranc settlements that happened. 72 00:04:31,305 --> 00:04:36,105 [Virzi] So, the first settlement approval was the $505,000, 73 00:04:36,110 --> 00:04:39,140 and then murdaugh also had another policy. 74 00:04:40,648 --> 00:04:44,378 And that money is a substantial amount. 75 00:04:44,385 --> 00:04:47,685 That's $3.8 million. 76 00:04:47,688 --> 00:04:52,218 Both of the insurance companies pay a total of $4.3 million. 77 00:04:54,495 --> 00:04:57,425 And by bringing Chad westendorf in, 78 00:04:57,497 --> 00:05:00,497 they were able to keep it from the satterfields. 79 00:05:00,501 --> 00:05:05,201 [Emerson] Once it's passed through Chad westendorf, Cory Fleming, 80 00:05:05,205 --> 00:05:08,265 within this "forge" bank account, 81 00:05:08,275 --> 00:05:11,805 it ends up in the hands of Alex murdaugh. 82 00:05:11,812 --> 00:05:16,112 Chad westendorf and Cory Fleming say that they had no party 83 00:05:16,116 --> 00:05:18,846 to this whole alleged scheme 84 00:05:18,952 --> 00:05:21,052 to defraud the satterfields. 85 00:05:21,121 --> 00:05:24,121 Each says that he's a pawn of Alex murdaugh. 86 00:05:27,594 --> 00:05:29,834 [Virzi] The satterfields didn't know until years late 87 00:05:29,930 --> 00:05:32,400 that there was any settlement at all. 88 00:05:32,399 --> 00:05:34,399 They learned about the first part 89 00:05:34,401 --> 00:05:36,701 of the settlement, the $500,000, 90 00:05:36,704 --> 00:05:38,904 when it was reported by a local reporter 91 00:05:38,906 --> 00:05:42,036 who was looking into the boat crash. 92 00:05:42,042 --> 00:05:44,642 [Emerson] Tony and his broth get a lawyer involved 93 00:05:44,711 --> 00:05:48,381 to find out what's happened to their mother's money, 94 00:05:48,382 --> 00:05:50,852 the money that was supposed to come to them. 95 00:05:57,091 --> 00:05:59,261 There's gonna be a paper trail when it comes to money. 96 00:06:01,228 --> 00:06:04,698 There were checks, and when checks are deposite 97 00:06:04,698 --> 00:06:07,698 there's ink on the back that says exactly what bank account it went to, 98 00:06:07,701 --> 00:06:09,101 and those records exist, 99 00:06:09,103 --> 00:06:10,943 and those records are discoverable. 100 00:06:11,037 --> 00:06:13,607 Right? You can always find where the money went. 101 00:06:14,408 --> 00:06:15,938 [Gregg Roman] Tony satterfield, 102 00:06:15,976 --> 00:06:19,376 because of the unsolved deat of his mother, 103 00:06:19,380 --> 00:06:21,950 still does not know what actually happened on that day. 104 00:06:22,015 --> 00:06:25,015 The only thing he knows is he was robbed by Alex murdaugh, 105 00:06:25,018 --> 00:06:27,178 an attorney who was supposed to represent his interest. 106 00:06:29,323 --> 00:06:31,723 [Woman] After Maggie and pau were murdered, 107 00:06:31,825 --> 00:06:34,085 when everything came out 108 00:06:34,094 --> 00:06:38,434 of Alex doing what he did to Tony and Brian, 109 00:06:38,532 --> 00:06:40,202 I was in disbelief. 110 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,230 He's always been like family... 111 00:06:44,138 --> 00:06:47,808 And I just couldn't belie that he did this to these boys. 112 00:06:49,109 --> 00:06:51,939 To this day, I still can't believe it. 113 00:06:52,012 --> 00:06:54,382 [Virzi] Seeing that name, "forge," and realizing what he had done, 114 00:06:54,381 --> 00:06:56,051 the first thing some of us thought was, 115 00:06:56,149 --> 00:06:57,819 "this can't be the first time, right? 116 00:06:58,685 --> 00:06:59,715 Is there more? 117 00:07:00,621 --> 00:07:02,151 Are there more victims out here?" 118 00:07:09,997 --> 00:07:14,427 [Virzi] You can hide financial crimes for a while 119 00:07:14,534 --> 00:07:17,574 but you get that one drop of sugar in the glass, and... 120 00:07:17,571 --> 00:07:20,941 The evidence is gonna be there to make the rest of it fall to the bottom. 121 00:07:22,943 --> 00:07:25,713 [Woman] When you start tracing money and you get in people's financials, 122 00:07:25,712 --> 00:07:27,752 and you know who they're paying money to 123 00:07:27,781 --> 00:07:29,281 the books are open. 124 00:07:29,283 --> 00:07:31,153 You can't put the genie back in the bottle. 125 00:07:31,218 --> 00:07:33,518 You better go ahead and just fess up and tell the truth. 126 00:07:34,721 --> 00:07:37,621 [Drew Tripp] All this troubl with Alex murdaugh, 127 00:07:37,691 --> 00:07:39,961 once that all starts snowballing, 128 00:07:40,828 --> 00:07:42,388 there is mounting evidence 129 00:07:42,396 --> 00:07:46,026 he was potentially involved in more criminal behavior 130 00:07:46,767 --> 00:07:49,027 than what was presently known. 131 00:07:49,135 --> 00:07:53,605 It appears that he had spent years and years defrauding people. 132 00:07:53,607 --> 00:07:56,307 And so, we're starting to se a lot of these people 133 00:07:56,310 --> 00:07:58,410 starting to come out of the woodwork. 134 00:08:01,148 --> 00:08:04,318 One of the more heartbreaking cases to emerge 135 00:08:04,318 --> 00:08:07,788 after the revelations of the satterfields 136 00:08:07,788 --> 00:08:09,818 was lieutenant Tommy Moore... 137 00:08:11,124 --> 00:08:14,094 A state highway patrol trooper for south Carolina 138 00:08:14,094 --> 00:08:17,404 who was involved in a terrible accident on the job. 139 00:08:19,032 --> 00:08:22,432 This was three years before the murders 140 00:08:22,503 --> 00:08:24,303 of Maggie and Paul murdaugh 141 00:08:27,241 --> 00:08:31,511 the accident happened during what we called "snowmageddon" down here. 142 00:08:31,512 --> 00:08:34,352 It probably snows once in a blue moon. 143 00:08:35,649 --> 00:08:38,149 A major snowstorm, for us.. 144 00:08:39,386 --> 00:08:41,216 In January 2018. 145 00:08:51,031 --> 00:08:53,301 [Man] The road was iced over in most places, 146 00:08:54,034 --> 00:08:57,744 and we had wrecks galore. 147 00:08:57,837 --> 00:09:01,307 I was parked completely off the road with my blue lights on. 148 00:09:02,309 --> 00:09:06,379 The next thing I knew, I just felt a big jolt, 149 00:09:06,380 --> 00:09:10,680 and my seat broke and threw me backwards. 150 00:09:10,684 --> 00:09:14,094 Trooper Moore said that when that car slammed into the back of him, 151 00:09:14,087 --> 00:09:18,387 he knew something was very wrong. 152 00:09:18,392 --> 00:09:21,262 [Lt.
