Scott McNeil is a special agent with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) with over 15 years of federal law enforcement (LE) experience investigating money laundering, cyber frauds and various financial crimes. McNeil has led numerous investigations resulting in multi-defendant indictments and convictions―ultimately disrupting transnational criminal organizations seeking to exploit the U.S. financial system.

Some of McNeil’s recent investigative work includes securing multiple separate indictments and the convictions of 16 individuals, between 2019 and 2025, for their roles in defrauding victims via business email compromise scams and other cyber-enabled frauds. In 2023, he led an international money laundering and bribery investigation resulting in multiple arrests and extraditions. In 2021, he partnered in a multi-agency Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces investigation, resulting in the indictment and convictions of five individuals for their roles in laundering victim funds derived from a Southeast Asia boiler room selling fraudulent securities across the globe. In 2020, he secured the indictment and conviction of a senior bank official and co-conspirator for their roles in a customer impersonation and account takeover scheme.

McNeil has developed financial target initiatives for LE and engages with the private sector under HSI’s Cornerstone outreach initiative. He is currently assigned to HSI’s El Dorado Task Force South in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
