Hey, Prime members, you can listen to American Scandal add-free on Amazon music, download the app today.

It's mid 2006 in New York City.

In a park in Manhattan, FBI agent BJ Kang walks along a shaded path.

Nearby, several children laugh as they play a game of hopscotch.

Couples lounge together on the grass reading books.

And everywhere he looks, Kang sees crowds of people enjoying the warm weather.

As an agent for the Bureau, Kang focuses on securities fraud.

He looks at crimes in the financial markets, like Ponzi schemes and other criminal acts that hurt investors.

Recently, Kang has been taking a close look at a potentially major source of criminal activity, hedge funds.

Kang knows the basics.

Hedge funds pool together money from investors and often take aggressive positions in the market.

The risks can be high, but so can the rewards, sometimes producing staggering returns for their wealthy clients.

Still, there's a lot about hedge funds that remain shrouded in secret.

Contacting his sources and seeing what he might turn up.

The man he's hoping to meet with today is a traitor who knows all about hedge funds.

And might help Kang learn what exactly is happening inside these firms.

Kang runs a hand through his short hair as he continues to scan the park.

Kang heads over and grabs a nearby seat.
