Fraud, Theft, and Schemes
I am a retired Special Agent that worked for the US Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Department of Veterans Affairs for over 20 years. What I will discuss is the actual cases that I was the primary investigator and most were “white collar” fraud cases which resulted in convictions. A desire to be in law enforcement started at a young age for me and as I look back at my young adventures as a boy, I realized they played a part in my future career.
Many of the details and the actual stories are public record. During my Special Agent career I was the affiant for 25 search warrants and each one of these affidavits told a story. I have changed the names of the defendants, just to keep the ghosts away but other details are fairly accurate to what happened. I don’t have a lot of source material from then, but have a pretty good memory.
If you have a desire to go into federal law enforcement, this will provide some background and education, and insight into “white collar” criminal investigations. I hope these stories are both informative and entertaining.
I retired in 2012, and have been working as a computer forensic analyst and manager for several large companies.
