Welcome back to Season 16 of White Collars, Red Hands! This week we once again combine Kishan's love of baseball with disdain for financial crime into an episode as we talk about the background and friendship that formed between Shohei Ohtani and Ippei Mizuhara. Then we discuss how the friendship fell into ruin through a years-long heist.

On the season 15 finale we discuss the insane life and death of John McAfee who founded the famous antivirus software, became a wanted fugitive in another country, openly used drugs and hired prostitutes and still somehow mildly successfully ran for the President of the United States.

This week we dish the tea on a Mathew missing a t, as we discuss Mathew James and the capers he pulled to hoodwink the healthcare industry out of more than half a billion dollars.

This week we sit down and discuss the not often told story of Tino De Angelis, an Italian immigrant looking to make a name for himself, which he did not through good business practices or works of charity but through perpetuating a phantom oil scandal worth $1.8Bn!

This week we discuss a weird intersection of themes that are common on this show, cryptocurrency and religious scams.

This week we visit Japan as we discuss the details of an unsolved crime from the 1980's that saw multiple food companies threatened and extorted by someone who referred to themselves as The Monster with 21 Faces.
