A 52-year-old Castle Rock woman has been charged with conspiracy to commit money laundering and 23 counts of money laundering after a grand jury returned a superseding indictment. Lori Ann Kimball allegedly carried out illegal financial transactions, including transferring over $3.4 million received from victims between January 2023 and February 2025 to cryptocurrency accounts in her own name.
According to the superseding indictment, individuals other than Kimball built fake online relationships with victims to gain their trust and convinced them to send money to Kimball in the form of wire transfers, checks, or cash. Despite being warned by law enforcement about the nature of her conduct, Kimball continued to carry out illegal financial transactions.
The superseding indictment further alleges that Kimball knowingly conducted financial transactions involving more than $10,000 in proceeds from mail and wire fraud. It also alleges that, to conceal and disguise the illegally obtained funds, Kimball used a variety of methods, which included moving money via cashier’s checks and cash between bank and cryptocurrency accounts.
Kimball also provided false information to banks and cryptocurrency exchanges to conceal and disguise her activity. During her involvement in this conspiracy, Kimball utilized at least 20 bank accounts and at least 9 cryptocurrency accounts.
The charges contained in the superseding indictment are allegations and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
This case is being investigated by the Internal Revenue Service – Criminal Investigation. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Craig Fansler.
Kimball’s case number is 1:25-cr-00054-CNS.
