After fleeing house arrest, Leonard Francis made it across the border into Mexico and on to South America. But it didn’t take long for the law to catch up with him. In this bonus episode, Project Brazen co-founder Tom Wright speaks to Kristina Davis of the San Diego Union-Tribune and Carlos Camacho in Caracas, two journalists close to Leonard’s case, about the fraudster’s escape plan, his recapture, and what the future holds for him under President Nicolás Maduro’s regime.
