What does ‘bankroll’ mean if used as a verb?
I was watching the TV show “White Collar” (episode: Forging Bonds).
Neal Caffrey is a bond forger.
I’m looking at Neal Adler hacking his money and am very suspicious. Where does he hide the money?
Neal must meet with Alex Adler, so he demonetizes bonds.
What happened? How did it catches the FBI agent Peter Burke (the FBI agent)?
What is Neal talking about with Peter?
Neal: Cashing those bonds was a calculated risk. Why was it worth it for the con we were about to run on Adler?
Peter, that’s right, but the bankrolling got us our first visual on you.
Does bank account mean cash in the above sentence?
According to my dictionary “bankroll” means to “feed” as a verb. I am really not sure why this happened to the above conversation. Why?

What does finance mean?
The pair are talking about a case where they were adversaries. When Peter and Neal’s Forgeries were discovered, the FBI would catch them. Peter would start talking to the FBI. Immediately.
In order for Peter to properly see Neal, he needed to make sure the forgeries were accepted as real bonds, so the FBI put up the money that the cashing of the bonds would have generated if they hadn’t been detected as forgeries, i.e. $65 and $58 dollars. These bonds were forged from fictitious assets. They are now back in stock, so they are being used in real estate. They bankrolled, and they
loaned the bonds to be issued.
If a tv show uses slang words, this could be a very successful alternative.
