J. L. Hunter "Red" Rountree (December 16, 1911, in Brownwood, Texas – October 12, 2004, in Springfield, Missouri) was an American folk hero who was believed to have been the world's oldest active bank robber.
Rountree's first robbery took place in 1998 when at the age of 86, he held up SouthTrust Bank in Biloxi, Mississippi.
He died at US Medical Center for Federal Prisoners in Springfield, Missouri on October 12, 2004.
He believed a Corpus Christi, Texas bank was responsible for his personal bankruptcy.
A documentary based on the story of Rountree, This Is Not A Robbery was an official selection for the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival in New York City.
