United States v. KBM Group, LLC

1:21-CR-00198 (PAB) (D. Colo.)

KBM Group, LLC (“KBM”) was charged by information with conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud.  The information alleged that from approximately January 2012 through December 2018, employees in KBM’s Merchant Services unit sold data associated with millions of American consumers to clients engaged in fraudulent mass-mailing schemes.  KBM accepted a Deferred Prosecution Agreement (“DPA”) requiring that it pay $33.5 million to a victim compensation fund and an $8.5 million criminal fine. On June 29, 2021, Chief Judge Philip A. Brimmer granted the parties' Joint Motion for Deferral of Prosecution. The Court’s order deferred all proceedings in this case for 30 months while KBM completed its obligations under the DPA. The DPA expired on December 11, 2023 after KBM completed its obligations, and the case was then dismissed.

Kroll Settlement Administration has been appointed as the Claim Administrator over the victim compensation fund. For more information, please visit this website (external link):
