Well, the fact they he's an accomplished writer in the heist and con genre certainly helps:

Rogers is the co-creator of the TNT drama Leverage, as well as a writer for The Librarians, so he clearly knows his way around a secret conspiratorial plot.

Twitter showed their admiration for Rogers' expert takedown:

Although it did make people (mock) wonder...
