Yahoo Movies Have You Seen This Man? season 2 invites listeners to join manhunt for a notorious scammer
ABC News is once again asking its listeners: "Have you seen this man?"
The news network is gearing up for the second season of its popular podcast, with its first episode set to debut on Wednesday, Aug. 11, and episodes posting weekly afterward. This time around, Have You Seen This Man? is taking listeners along for the U.S. Marshals' real-time global manhunt for scammer John Ruffo, currently on their "15 Most Wanted" list.
The first trailer for the new season, which can be listened to above, teases Ruffo's story. The scammer, who's been wanted since 1998, swindled banks out of more than $300 million — one of the largest frauds of its time — using the stolen cash to turn himself into a Wall Street big shot before his con fell apart.
