The Leonard Lopate Show | Dec 19, 2017

David Howard joins us to discuss his new book Chasing Phil: The Adventures of Two Undercover Agents with the World's Most Charming Con Man. The FBI’s first white-collar undercover sting took place in 1977, when agents with little undercover training went toe-to-toe with Phil Kitzer, whom some called the world's greatest swindler. 

This segment is guest hosted by Jonathan Capehart.
