An editor has been re-adding this to the first sentence of the lead section over and over again despite being reverted by many editors. It's excessive repetition, the lead section second paragraph already is too long going into all the criminal activities. Furthermore, not everyone in the Murdaugh family is a criminal, most are not, such strong language runs into BLP. -- Green C 03:41, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
That seems like it's overstating it. They're prominent in a single judicial circuit in South Carolina. Valereee ( talk) 19:24, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
The Murdaugh family ( /ˈmɜːrdɒk/ MUR-dok) is a family of locally prominent lawyers in the Lowcountry of South Carolina.
The Murdaugh family (/ˈmɜːrdɒk/ MUR-dok) is a political family of locally prominent lawyers in the Lowcountry of South Carolina.? Add political families and link lawyers. I agree with y'all and like the "locally prominent" wordage. TulsaPoliticsFan ( talk) 18:13, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

I removed three names of people likely born after 2008. No apparent source for them, too. Valereee ( talk) 17:41, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
In the above section the original settlement is quoted as "$4.3-million", whereas below in Embezzlement allegations the sum is quoted as "settlement of about $3.4 million". Which is it? Cheers! Shir-El too 21:34, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
I can't find if he was ever convicted. Did prosecutors let it drop? It's a hard thing to prove, compared to all the other fraud. And prosecutors didn't need to prove everything. Of the 100+ charges, they only prosecuted 22. -- Green C 16:13, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
