Alex Murdaugh’s close friend, Corey Fleming, gets SC law license suspended over misconduct allegations
Fox News
The South Carolina Supreme Court has suspended the law license of Alex Murdaugh’s best friend, Corey Fleming, amid allegations Fleming was involved in a scheme to embezzle millions obtained in wrongful death settlements from the sons of Murdaugh’s longtime housekeeper, Gloria Satterfield.
Beatty did not elaborate further on the specific reasoning for Fleming’s suspension, which came eight days after Fleming, his Beaufort-based law firm, Moss, Kuhn and Fleming, and their malpractice insurance carrier reached a settlement with the Estate of Gloria Satterfield on Oct. 1.
Fleming admitted to "material mistakes" in the handling of insurance settlements negotiated following Satterfield’s 2018 death weeks after an alleged trip and fall at Murdaugh’s home in Colleton County, but "maintains he was not a willing participant in Mr. Murdaugh’s scheme but was used," according to a joint statement from Fleming’s lawyers, Thomas Pendarvis and David Overstreet, and attorneys for Satterfield’s estate, Eric Bland and Ronald Richter, provided to Fox News Digital Thursday. Fleming also agreed to pay back legal fees.
