About this episode
On this episode of The Opportunist, Ian Mitchell charmed his way through New York City's elite social circles by assuming a false identity. The episode traces how a smooth-talking con man used a borrowed name, designer clothes, and just enough insider knowledge to swindle friends and associates out of nearly $700,000.
