Jack Latimer is a professional investor who used the outcomes of the the Leverage team's activities to make a series of lucrative investments. He first makes his presence felt by bugging Nate's condo. Soon after, he calls Nate, requesting the team take over contracts he had with the recently disgraced Reed Rockwell (The 15 Minutes Job) with a generous commission. Nate refuses, but suggests a face-to-face meeting. Latimer declines, and after making a few cryptic comments about Nate thinking he's a good guy, concludes the call without introducing himself.
