Secret Murdaugh Recording Exposes Larger Scheme, Is Judicial Reform Necessary? – Week In Review 10/8/2022

In this heavily caffeinated edition of the FITSNews Week In Review we dove right into recent bombshell Murdaugh crime and corruption saga developments. For months informed speculators – ourselves included – have posited it is highly unlikely a few ‘lone wolves’ could have successfully executed the complex financial crimes Alex Murdaugh , Cory Fleming , and Russell Laffitte stand accused of committing. Are we to believe that a rouge banker hid hundreds of thousands of dollars of fraud over an ext...

Hurricane Ian, Judicial Leniency, Rockstar Lawsuit Expands and New Alleged Murdaugh Conspirators

It was a blustery edition of our popular ‘ Week In Review ’ program as we filmed the show during amid the arrival of Hurricane Ian – which made landfall near Georgetown, South Carolina on Friday afternoon as a strong category one storm. With the exception of some intense coastal flooding and the destruction of the Pawleys Island pier, Ian’s impact on the Palmetto State paled in comparison to the deadly destruction in wrought on Florida three days ago. More than two dozen people are confirmed dea...

Last week, two of my kiddos stopped by the set of our ‘ Week In Review ’ program.

Cheer Victims Called, Murdaugh Hearing & Fratboy Governors Race

Last week, I predicted the mushrooming Rockstar Cheer scandal was going to wind up being an even bigger story than the ‘ Murdaugh Murders ’ crime and corruption saga. Turns out I had no idea how much bigger … Rockstar Cheer went national this week on the strength of a huge federal lawsuit filed by attorneys with the Columbia, S.C.-based Strom Law firm. This lawsuit – filed in U.S. district court in Greenville, S.C. – laid bare the extent to which the alleged abuse at a Greenville, South Carolina...
