The FBI is investigating Alex Murdaugh for alleged financial crimes, Eric Bland, one of the attorneys representing the sons of housekeeper, Gloria Satterfield, told Fox News Digital Wednesday. 
Another attorney for the Satterfield estate, Ronnie Richter, recently told The Post & Courier something similar, affirming, "There is an active FBI investigation into the financial crimes." 
Bland did not go into detail with Fox News Digital about the federal probes centered on "financial aspects" of Murdaugh's dealings, specifying via email, "I only know about Satterfield portion of investigation."
One of Murdaugh’s defense attorneys, Jim Griffin, told The Post & Courier he participated in an Oct. 14 conference call set up by federal prosecutors who wanted to know whether Murdaugh would cooperate with their investigation into alleged financial crimes. When asked directly by Fox News Digital about the call, Derek Shoemake, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office, again declined to comment.  
SLED spokesman Tommy Crosby added, "As a result of the brutal murders of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh on June 7, SLED’s initial priority was finding anyone responsible for their deaths. During the course of the double murder investigation, SLED agents have uncovered other potential crimes that warrant further investigation."
