JEFFREY P. KARSH
MAI FINANCIAL CRIME CONSULTANT

Jeffrey P. Karsh has been a Financial Crimes Consultant for Madison Associates, Inc (MAI) since May 2007.

Jeff retired from government service after 34 years as a Special Agent with the Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigations (CI). Prior to his retirement from CI, Jeff was the CI Attaché assigned to the U.S. Embassy in London. His geographic responsibilities included the United Kingdom, Western Europe, all of Africa and the Middle East. Jeff also established the Baghdad Post and became the first IRS-CI Attaché assigned to the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad. In his position as Attaché, he coordinated international investigations relating to financial crimes, tax evasion, money laundering and terrorist financing.

During his career with CI, Jeff gained extensive experience and expertise in conducting money laundering and financial crime investigations. ON behalf of CI, Jeff worked closely with representatives of the U.S. Congress to ensure the proper tools were included in the legislation being considered to enhance law enforcement’s ability to adequately address money laundering, including testifying before Congress on the issue. He also assisted in expanding the role of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) as the United States’ Financial Intelligence Unit.

Since becoming a member of the MAI team, Jeff has been very successful in assisting MAI clients and prosecutors in identifying investigative and prosecutive strategies for complex financial cases and then conducting the necessary, goal-focused investigations. One example that demonstrates his expertise in this area involved a case that was scheduled for trial within a few days when prosecutors discovered that a report done by one the government’s experts, a contractor hired by another firm, was unacceptable. The prosecutor requested emergency assistance from MAI to provide the appropriate financial analysis, one that had to be completed before the trial was to commence. Jeff conducted an analysis of the financial records obtained in the case and prepared a report of his finding for the prosecutor, all before trial was to commence. With the assistance of Jeff’s analysis, the case resulted in guilty pleas and asset forfeitures of in excess of $3 million.
