Computer salesman John Ruffo commits a brazen $353 million bank fraud; the FBI arrest Ruffo, he pleads guilty, and the judge sentences him to 17 years in federal prison; what happens next sparks one of the longest manhunts in U.S. history.
After convincing prosecutors and a judge to let him self-report for a prison term, John Ruffo disappears; U.S. marshals chase a tip when a relative reports spotting someone resembling Ruffo seated behind home plate at a Los Angeles Dodgers game.
In diaries he left behind, John Ruffo spins an exotic Cold War tale; to find out if this is part of another Ruffo con, the team goes in search of an infamous FBI turncoat and a Soviet diplomat, who Ruffo claimed was a target for defection.
