Additional stories this season include a 2-part special episode on the charges of a decade-spanning multimillion dollar fraud against prominent South Carolina attorney Alex Murdaugh ("Murdaugh Murder Mystery"); a couple that stand accused of laundering billions of dollars' worth of Bitcoin in one of cryptocurrency's most notorious heists "The Crocodiles of Wall Street"); the charismatic con-man Antonio Mariot Wilson, who fleeces unsuspecting investors, including television star Jenifer Lewis ("Financial Infidelity"); the founder of the electric vehicle company Nikola, Trevor Milton, who sold investors "an ocean of lies" ("Chasing Tesla"); the Ayvazyans, a seasoned family of fraudsters who easily grab millions of dollars in COVID relief funds ("COVID Cons"); former Mississippi Department of Corrections Commissioner, Chris Epps, who charms his way up the ladder while siphoning kickbacks and bribes from prison contracts ("Million Dollar Prison Kickback"); Garrison Courtney, who infiltrates Washington's intelligence circles where he collects millions with his tales of running a top-secret national security operation for the CIA ("The Spy Who Conned Me"); and more.
