Hustle - Season 3 Episode 3 - Stock Market Scandal

The crew comes to the assistance of American con artist, James Whitaker Wright III, a descendant of the legendary James Whitaker Wright I.

Whittaker Wright was a brilliant grifter of his time until he attempted to float a fake mining company with the merchant bank, Cornfoots, which soon led to his downfall, but also one of the most brilliant "cackle bladders" of all time; faking his own death.

His grandson is now eager for revenge, so the team decides to con two of the bigwigs of the bank: they set up a fake company, "Chad mining", in order to crash the bank, when their marks decide to sell the company shares before it has floated; an action that is highly illegal, and which the gang knows they will pay for when the marks can't get the shares back.

However, "JW3" was cunning and smart to find and recruit them all, and the team certainly has doubts about whether to trust him or not, but even they can't expect how things will truly end.
