Beaufort defense attorney Cory Fleming appears to be tangled in the increasingly complicated Murdaugh family saga. Fleming, a partner at the Beaufort-based Moss, Kuhn & Fleming law firm, is accused of working with Hampton lawyer Alex Murdaugh to divert millions of dollars from a wrongful death settlement to Murdaugh. A lawsuit filed this week also accuses Murdaugh of failing to disclose his personal and professional ties to Fleming after Murdaugh allegedly recommended the attorney to one of the survivors of the 2019 boat crash that killed Mallory Beach. The lawsuit alleges that Fleming’s services were used to prevent Murdaugh’s son, Paul, from being implicated in the crash.

"During my administration, everybody wanted the vaccine," Trump said in a phone interview. "There was nobody saying 'oh, gee, I don't want to take it.' Now they say that and that's because they don't trust the Biden administration. I can think of no other reason." "When I was there, everybody wanted it."

Incidentally, our own primate ancestors appear to be among the hardest hit. Diversity in anthropoid teeth 30 million years ago dropped to virtually nothing. It was so bad, a single type of dental morphology remained, constraining the kinds of foods their descendants could eat.

In July, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen summoned the chair of the Federal Reserve, the head of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and six other top officials for a meeting to discuss Tether. The absurdity of the situation couldn’t have been lost on them: Inflation was spiking, a Covid surge threatened the economic recovery, and Yellen wanted to talk about a digital currency dreamed up by the former child actor who’d missed a penalty shot in The Mighty Ducks. But Tether had gotten so large that it threatened to put the U.S. financial system at risk. It was as if a playground snowball fight had escalated so wildly that the Joint Chiefs of Staff were being called in to avert a nuclear war. Tether is what’s come to be known in financial circles as a stablecoin—stable because one Tether is supposed to be backed by one dollar. But it’s actually more like a bank. The company that issues the currency, Tether Holdings Ltd., takes in dollars from people who want to trade crypto and credits their digital wallets with an equal amount of Tethers in return. Once they have Tethers, people can send them to cryptocurrency exchanges and use them to bet on the price of Bitcoin, Ether, or any of the thousands of other coins. And at least in theory, Tether Holdings holds on to the dollars so it can return them to anyone who wants to send in their tokens and get their money back. The convoluted mechanism became popular because real banks didn’t want to do business with crypto companies, especially foreign ones.
