Before joining Kroll Associates in 1994, Mr. Cash held executive positions in the U.S. Justice Department’s Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) with extensive experience in conducting investigations and money laundering investigative operations in over 30 countries. With specializations in Europe, the Caribbean and Latin America, Tom served seven years as Special Agent in Charge of DEA’s Florida and Caribbean Division, consisting of 13 domestic and 11 foreign offices.

From 1995 to 2000, Tom served as Senior Managing Director for Kroll Associates’ Latin American region.

Subsequently all the money was returned. Tom has also been involved in overseeing numerous kidnapping and ransom matters in Latin America as well as assisting corporations in the taking of precautions to prevent these types of disasters through utilization of armored vehicles and family and driver training in kidnapping prevention. With an extensive background in international narcotics trafficking, money laundering and fraud investigations, Mr. Cash has testified as an expert witness in Federal courts and has personally led some of the most significant United States International investigations ever attempted by the United States Government.

He is also the holder of the Presidential Rank Award presented by President George Bush in 1991 for distinguished service. Mr. Cash received a B.A. from Georgia State University, completed a Graduate Program in Public Administration at American University of Washington D.C. and has attended Harvard University’s John F.
