i hated the boys because i thought they were too on the nose with their writing. i'm starting to think they were just ahead of their time and preempted the death of satire. maybe i gotta give that show another try.
Hackers come to mind, but I'm struggling to think of other criminal skills that the government would direct hire you for.
I don't know that I would count Confidential Informants as being "hired", nor someone being hired who resides outside the country theyre working for (an Algerian smuggler working for/with the CIA, for example).
Can anyone think of any others?

Scammers in general, not just hackers, get hired by the government for countermeasures. Jordan Belfort, the real guy whose life was depicted in The Wolf of Wall Street, was hired by the government to identify frauds.
TRUMP hires the best, creme of the crop of PDF, scam artists, SA/DVers.
