Hulu has also dropped a description for the upcoming docuseries which says:

"On a brisk day in November 1998, a doughy balding Brooklyn computer salesman was supposed to report to prison to begin serving a 17-year sentence. He rented a Ford Taurus. Drove to Queens to turn in the ankle monitor he had been wearing. He took $600 out of an ATM. Headed to JFK airport. And vanished. His name was John Ruffo. The crime he had committed was outlandish. Using forged documents and fake corporate seals, he persuaded banks to loan him $350 million. He invented a nonexistent proposition that he called “Project Star” and he used the money to gamble the millions on the stock market, becoming one of Wall Street’s high-rollers."

The plot of the upcoming docuseries

In 1997, John Ruffo was arrested by the FBI. Ruffo, who used to operate a small computer sales company from the city of New York, allegedly committed a striking bank fraud worth $353 million. Since his conviction, he has disappeared without leaving any trace of his existence, and U.S. marshals have been on the search for him for nearly 24 years.

After Ruffo was sentenced by a judge to a 17 ½ year of federal prison time, he neglected it and drove to John F. Kennedy Airport instead. The docuseries chronicles the story of U.S. marshals as they go on a search to find clues and get fresh tips, leading them all around the world from California to Italy.

The mini-series will display interviews with active and retired U.S. marshals and also Ruffo’s family members to examine the highly intriguing case from the very beginning. The Hulu docuseries will present a closer look into the investigation behind the long search as well.


ABC News Studios has served as the producer of the 3-part docuseries, Have You Seen This Man? for Hulu. Cindy Galli, Megan Harding and Matthew Mosk have served as the executive producers, while Chris Vlasto and Roxanna Sherwood have served as the docuseries' senior executive producers.
