Billy Bond joined in series 4 after Michael Stone (temporarily) departed the group. Before joining the Hustle crew he worked the short con on the streets and claims that Danny Blue was the only con artist able to teach him anything, hence his ambition to join the crew. He describes himself as "a work of art, a force of nature" who can "separate a mark from his money quicker than any man alive". He did not return for the fifth series and no explanation was given.
