A major enforcement push by Florida authorities has led to the arrest of a licensed health insurance agent accused of running a massive identity theft and commission scheme.
Omar Hibbert was taken into custody in Miami-Dade County on February 9, 2026, marking the latest high-profile bust by the Department of Financial Services (DFS) Criminal Investigations Division.
Investigators allege that Hibbert systematically used another insurance agent’s personal information to bypass industry safeguards.

According to state officials, Hibbert opened more than 100 fraudulent policies, pocketing roughly $323,505 in illicit commissions. He now faces several serious felony charges, including organized schemes to defraud, insurance fraud, and identity theft.
The arrest comes as Chief Financial Officer Blaise Ingoglia ramps up efforts to root out corruption within the state’s financial and insurance sectors. Ingoglia emphasized that his office is prioritizing the protection of Floridians and the upholding of state law.
“My office is serious about ensuring that the rule of law is upheld. My office is serious about protecting Floridians,” said Ingoglia. “My office is serious about holding anyone who commits fraud, accountable. To anyone engaging in this type of behavior, assisting in it, or attempting to hide it, our investigators are actively working to put you behind bars.”

This case is part of a much broader sweep by the CFO’s office. Just one day after Hibbert was detained, Ingoglia announced the arrests of six other individuals involved in separate cases.
That group included former state employees who have been hit with charges ranging from grand theft to fraud. These back-to-back enforcement actions signal a heightened period of scrutiny for licensed professionals and state workers alike as the Criminal Investigations Division continues its aggressive statewide crackdown.
