Episode Quotes

Elizabeth Burke: Good luck with your little con.
Peter Burke: It's not a con.
Neal Caffrey: Technically it is a con.
Peter Burke: It's a sting.

Mistakes/Goofs

Goof (revealing mistake): When they first arrest Larssen, you can see him being led away in the background of a shot of Neal and Peter. Though Larssen's hands are behind his back, you can clearly see that he is not handcuffed.
Goof (anachronisms): When the Nigerian smuggler is forced to use a payphone because his cell phone has been jammed, he gets change from Mozzie, and uses just one quarter to make a payphone call. Payphones have cost 35 cents or more in NYC for over 20 years.

Trivia

Agent Roe played by Kevin Kilner played the father of Hilarie Burton's character, Peyton Sawyer on One Tree Hill.
Neil hands out cards to the forgers with the website address 42685th.com written on them. This is in reference to the place where he'd like for all of them to meet him: 4268 5th Ave. At the time of this episode's original airing, that website address redirected to the Fellowship of Fools website (www.fellowshipoffools.com), which at that time featured a huge White Collar background advertisement and front page media about other USA and SyFy shows (both channels are owned by the same parent company).
Peter mentions to Neal that he learned about horses growing up in up-state New York. Actor Tim DeKay who plays Peter is in fact from Lansing, in up-state New York.
The list of names in Larson's file includes Jeni Harden, props production assistant on several episodes of this show.
