Mr. Kevin Lowell

Kevin Lowell is a former senior DOJ federal prosecutor with expertise in complex investigations. He began his career with the DOJ when he was selected to join the Attorney General’s Honors program with the Money Laundering and Asset Recovery Section. In this role, he evaluated the corporate compliance programs of domestic and global financial institutions; investigated individuals for money laundering and economic sanctions violations; and worked closely with domestic banking regulators, including the OCC and Federal Reserve. Lowell next served in DOJ’s Fraud Section where he investigated companies and individuals across a variety of markets, including the securities, commodities, digital asset and health care markets. He developed the Section’s SAR Review Initiative, which was designed to leverage FinCEN SAR data to support financial investigations. A first-chair trial lawyer, he has secured successful outcomes in white-collar cases around the country, including in Los Angeles, Miami, New York, San Diego and Houston. He also supervised and managed the Fraud Section’s cryptocurrency enforcement program. In this role, he directed the U.S. government’s first national cryptocurrency enforcement action, which resulted in charged cases involving over $100 million in losses to investors and consumers. He collaborated closely with the SEC and CFTC on confronting the enforcement challenges posed by cryptocurrencies and digital assets. Lowell’s investigations were global in scope and included strategic coordination with authorities from Asia, Australia, Latin America, the United Kingdom, and Europe. His investigations involved over $2 billion in financial losses, corporate resolutions with international financial institutions, charges against senior executives of companies, and the recovery of millions of dollars for victims of financial fraud. For his work, he received a number of awards, including a two-time recipient of the Assistant Attorney General’s Award for Exceptional Service; the FinCEN Director’s Award for Safeguarding the Financial System from Abuse; Council of the Inspectors General Award for Excellence in Investigation; and the FBI’s National Award for Integrity and Commitment to Public Service.
