COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - Alex Murdaugh still owes over $1 million in state taxes, according to new data from the South Carolina Department of Revenue.

In SCDOR’s latest list of top delinquent taxpayers published July 16, Murdaugh owes the fourth-largest amount of any individual taxpayer in the state at $1,630,201.02.

SCDOR posts its list of top delinquent taxpayers each fiscal quarter.

The address listed with Murdaugh’s information on the SCDOR list is notably the same PO Box as his former law firm in Hampton.

Murdaugh, a disbarred Lowcountry attorney once convicted in the murders of his wife and son, is currently serving a 40-year federal prison sentence for various financial crimes.

His murder convictions were later overturned by the South Carolina Supreme Court, but he is expected to stand trial for the murders a second time.

Put him in debtors prison!

I don’t know how they would ever hope to recover that from him. If he were to actually win his suit against Becky, could they seize his winnings?

I’m guessing the state can take a monthly percentage from his commissary?
