Large-scale fraud schemes and financial crime continue to pose serious financial and societal risks, draining valuable resources and eroding public trust in institutions. In the public sector, these crimes threaten government revenues, national security, and social stability—making swift, accurate investigations more critical than ever.

Lester Joseph is the President of Joseph AML Consulting LLC.
Mr. Joseph was a prosecutor for the United States Department of Justice from 1984 to February 2010. From 2002-2010, he was the Principal Deputy Chief of the Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering Section (AFMLS). During his tenure, the Section played a major role in several noteworthy investigations and prosecutions of financial institutions for the failure to have an effective Anti-Money Laundering program, including Riggs Bank (2005), E-Gold Ltd. (2008), and Credit Suisse (2009), Lloyds TSB Bank PLC (2009), Sigue Corporation (2008), Union Bank of California (2007), American Express Bank International (2007), BankAtlantic (2006), and Banco Popular de Puerto Rico (2003).
In 2010, Mr. Joseph joined Wells Fargo and created the Global Financial Crimes Intelligence Group for the purpose of establishing a financial crimes intelligence team that would assist the bank to better address financial crime threats. The group collected, analyzed, developed and distributed intelligence based on Wells Fargo’s financial transactions and financial investigations databases, combined with political, social and economic information, to identify financial crimes trends and threats, and to assess the relevant risk and impact to Wells Fargo.
Mr. Joseph retired from Wells Fargo in April 2024 and opened up his own consulting firm.

Mr. Robnett, a distinguished Senior Executive Service member, concluded a notable career in federal law enforcement in 2022 as Deputy Chief of Criminal Investigation for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). In this capacity, he oversaw a global team of over 3,000 employees, including approximately 2,100 special agents across 21 field offices and 11 countries. His team investigated a wide array of complex crimes, including tax evasion, money laundering, public corruption, cybercrime, identity theft, narcotics trafficking, and terrorist financing. CI Special Agents are recognized as premier financial investigators, equipped with specialized skills to navigate intricate financial records and utilize forensic accounting tools to support rigorous criminal prosecutions.
Throughout his career, Mr. Robnett conducted significant criminal investigations in various leadership roles, serving as Special Agent in Charge in Tampa, Chicago, and New York, before advancing to Director of Field Operations and ultimately becoming Deputy Chief of CI.
After leaving federal law enforcement, Mr. Robnett took on the role of Executive Director for Market Development and Project Management at Madison Associates, Inc., an international law enforcement services firm.
