Judge says disgraced attorney Alex Murdaugh’s South Carolina island can be sold, 401(k) cashed out to pay lawyers and receivers

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Alex Murdaugh’s island is being sold.

On Thursday, a state judge temporarily lifted a year-old injunction freezing Murdaugh’s assets and approved the sale of the island belonging to the disgraced attorney.

At the same time, Judge Daniel Hall also approved the liquidation of Murdaugh’s entire 401(k) to help pay legal fees in his pending murder case. The money from the island will become part of Murdaugh’s assets now under control of the court-appointed receivers in the case.
