Who We Are
Kevin Danford, Founder and CEO
Our founder, Kevin Danford, is a Subject Matter Expert (SME) in fraud investigations and one of the country’s leading professionals in this arena. His combination of industry and law enforcement experience gives him a unique ability to help both private and public sector clients.
He spent eight years in the mortgage industry on the East Coast as a senior mortgage underwriter, a residential/commercial loan originator, a corporate trainer on fraud detection, and a senior default loan auditor. During that time, he instituted fraud prevention controls and policies at multiple companies, uncovered a $15 million insider fraud scheme, and audited loans on the secondary market.
Kevin then joined the FBI as a Special Agent and worked fraud investigations on the West Coast for five years before being promoted to management. While in Los Angeles, Kevin shut down thirteen criminal fraud organizations, located and apprehended a 12-year international fraud fugitive, led numerous multi-agency fraud task forces, and created a training program for FBI Domestic Terrorism agents on sovereign citizen financial fraud schemes. He then worked as a Supervisory Special Agent and Acting Unit Chief overseeing counterterrorism investigations in the southeast region of the United States, and finally as an Assistant Inspector at FBI HQ.
Kevin worked on an invitation basis with the USDOJ Civil Division in its post-bank-meltdown investigations and served as a member of both the FBI’s Corporate Fraud Response Team and their West Coast Mortgage Fraud Task Force. He was a highly sought-after SME and consulted on complex mortgage fraud schemes and fraud investigation techniques for US Bankruptcy Judges, government agencies (state and federal), and AUSAs, including both investigative and prosecutive strategies.
Kevin has spoken at regional and international conferences as a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) and SME on mortgage fraud. He received numerous awards from the FBI, USDOJ, Council of Inspectors General and others for excellence in financial fraud cases.
Post-FBI, Kevin is now one of the world's leading specialists in due diligence and global investigations for high-net worth individuals. Using his unique skills and extensive background, he has saved his clients millions of dollars by thoroughly vetting hard-to-research international potential partners (many of them fraudsters). Kevin is also a licensed private investigator for domestic (USA) investigations and is an expert in financial fraud investigations.
