My Amazing Woman, S03E03
JordySword for Frank Astin (the Crimson Actuary)
Frank Astin is a highly intelligent, methodical, and refined criminal who is the arch enemy of Millionaire Man and Penny. Even though he's been incarcerated for a while, he has nonetheless launched a plot to destroy Millionaire Man's wealth from prison by turning one of Penny's most trusted accountants against the two of them. He has a disdain for everyone less smart than he is, which in his estimation is everyone other than the criminal The Big Idea. He thinks highly of himself, perhaps too highly, and attributes his failures to the luck of those who bring him down and not to any failings of his own. There is a whole Batman 1966 aura to all things Millionaire Man, and that includes the Crimson Actuary

And yet, somehow, he consistently defies the odds and comes out on top. Do you know how infuriating it is to lose to the guy whose coin always lands on heads?
(laughs) No. I could have broken out of here anytime in the last few years. No. This is about revenge. Pure, sweet, revenge. After you stopped my crime spree, I thought long and hard about how I would get back at you and Millionaire Man. And then, right around Christmas I saw the movie Trading Places and I knew what I had to do.
No, Kevin. As the astute Billy Ray Valentine said, “The best way to hurt rich people is by turning them into poor people.” So, I studied your operations. I followed your every move in the financial papers. I knew Black Enterprises as well as anyone. Still, your systems were well defended. And then you went and bought the rideshare company. Their software was already compromised. But I needed someone to introduce my code into their system. And that’s when I saw “Super Coward.”
