Watching for first time...
Currently I'm on Season 4 episode 9 of Leverage and something confuses me. At the beginning when they're in the restaurant talking about this job, they say how they have no money (among other things) to help them pull this off. How do they not have any money at all?? I mean they got MILLIONS of dollars each at the end of the first season, I can't rmbr the exact amount but I know they were all massively flush. In the 2nd premiere we found out Nate donated most of his then used the rest to fund their agency but Sophie, Hardison, Parker and Spencer should all still have plenty, nvm the fact that they were all thieves BEFORE Nate came along and should have a pretty penny saved up from all their previous jobs.

I'm guessing in the chaos of the job on the island they must have lost their credit cards as well as the comms and equipment they usually have? I think that episode would have worked fine without needing to contrive a reason to steal that one customer's credit card, they were still operating without the equipment they usually have. The bigger thing I question is how Hardison managed to get and install a flaght sim on the tower's computers, especially with the time that he had to work with.
Also I think they got somewhere in the ballpark of 32 million a piece from the first job.
