Episode description as stored

Sam Israel was born into wealth, but he wanted to prove he could make it on Wall Street on his own. So he started a hedge fund – and almost immediately started losing money. But instead of admitting failure to his investors, he decided to lie. Eventually those lies spiraled into a $450 million fraud, a faked suicide, and a wild descent into a secret world of black-ops and dangerous con men. In a last ditch effort to dig his company out of debt, Sam is going to bet everything on a venture so bizarre, so shrouded in secrecy, that it’ll make the fraud look rational by comparison.
