Matthew has over 20 years of investigative experience as a Special Agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in the Minneapolis field office. Matthew’s federal law enforcement experience includes investigating threats to public officials, corporate embezzlement, investment fraud, tax fraud, bank theft, Ponzi schemes, identity theft, fraud against private insurance providers, and fraud against the Medicaid and Medicare programs.

His investigations led to criminal convictions of several individuals, including U.S. vs. Mark Holt, a securities broker, investment advisor, and now disbarred attorney convicted of stealing more than $4 million from his investment advisory clients; U.S. vs. Oladele, a bank employee convicted of stealing over $3.3 million from his employer’s cash vault; and U.S. vs. Ruzicka, where a jury found Jerome C. Ruzicka guilty on four counts of mail fraud, three counts of wire fraud, and one count of tax fraud.

Since 2009, Matthew focused his investigative efforts on health care fraud, working closely with experienced investigators from the Department of Health and Human Services – OIG, Minnesota Attorney General’s Office Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, IRS – CID, U.S. Postal Inspection Service, and U.S. Department of Homeland Security. His health care fraud experience includes civil and criminal investigations dealing with billing for services not rendered, overbilling due to incorrect reporting of diagnoses or procedures, overutilization of services, and kickbacks. A recent health care case led to the indictment of twenty individuals for defrauding the Minnesota Medicaid program of millions of dollars in mental health services that were not provided.

In addition to his investigative role, Matthew served as the FBI’s Elder Justice Coordinator, providing presentations, and raising public awareness of the elder fraud schemes targeting the older population.
