Throughout Mr. Hunter's nearly two decades as a Special Agent and Supervisory Special Agent in the FBI, he investigated and supervised a vast array of criminal matters including corporate fraud, securities and commodities fraud, health care fraud, investment fraud, mortgage fraud, identity theft, bank fraud, telemarketing fraud, narcotics, insurance fraud, bankruptcy fraud, money laundering, intellectual property, workers' compensation fraud, insider threats, and background investigations.

In 2013, the Department of Justice nominated him for a superior performance award for his accomplishments with the task force.

“One of the most successful financial crimes task forces in the country.”
