Season 14 made its debut on Monday, January 18, 2021, at 10 P.M on CNBC.

The premiere episode, “The Trials of Michael Avenatti,” chronicles the rise and fall of the flashy litigator who burst onto the scene in 2018, representing porn star Stormy Daniels in her dispute with President Donald Trump. What Avenatti’s fans at the time don’t know is that he has legal troubles of his own brewing – with allegations of crimes ranging from fraud to tax evasion. Still, he continues to dominate the airwaves and build support on social media –until a brazen scheme to extort sportswear giant Nike brings his publicity tour to an abrupt end.

The show goes inside the dark side of the American Dream – where money seduces, power corrupts, and smooth criminals will stop at nothing to get rich. Their complex scams leave victims’ lives in shambles. Each episode is a deep dive into the minds and actions of heartless crooks who live lives most people can only dream of. But how many luxury homes and exotic cars does it take to justify these white-collar crimes? Ultimately for the crooks, the dream turns into a nightmare when their shady plans unravel.
