FBI Hiring Spree - More Financial Fraud Expected?

In a January 5, 2009 press release, the Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBI") announces its intent to hire "over 2,100 professional staff employees and 850 special agents" in "one of the largest hiring blitzes" in the agency's 100-year history. Mathematicians and computer scientists are in demand, along with finance and accounting experts who can assist with investigations of corporate malfeasance. See "Wanted by the FBI: Talented Professionals to Serve the Nation."
Is this a harbinger of more financial fraud to come or a way to address cases already being investigated?
