Theories about how the series could have played out?

The show started with a job that ended with the death of a team member and resulted in the FBI getting a solid lead, Annie's true identity. Surely they must have pulled numerous thefts prior to that which the FBI investigated but must've went nowhere. From there they connected the team to the gold heist and how the team gives false leads and clues. What story arcs do you think could have been explored and how do you think existing arcs could have played out?

Obviously Hope was very suspicious of Bobby and it's heavily implied that she and Bobby used to commit crimes together, resulting in her being on probation. Her/their criminal history could have been explored as she pursues her suspicions. It shouldn't be that hard to figure out that many of his trips aren't due to his day job, that he's not traveling using his own name, and that he doesn't go to the cities he's saying he going. She could hide a GPS tracking device in his luggage and/or car to see where he really goes, leading her to his apartment with his other car, clothes, wallets, watches, cash, IDs, credit cards, and guns.

Bobby told Shawn not to pay the bookie off all at once because he might realize that it could be from the museum robbery and tip off his "fed buddies", implying that he knows that Sean's a thief and that he himself is an informant. Therefor, Bobby should have been very careful about threatening and assaulting the guy who could tell his "fed buddies" about Bobby.

Since the feds start to connect separate heists and know that several clues & bits of evidence could be false to waste their time and throw them off track, they could look into past heists to see if it was done by this team. This could have lead to flashbacks of past heists.

The FBI was on Annie's trail and she apparently had/has something against her father and probably also her mother. The fed could look into crimes involving descriptions of people who could look like her. Annie didn't tell anyone that she encountered a woman from her past in Pittsburgh so who knows what else she's hiding or how her lack of sharing & asking for help could lead the feds to her and the others. I would also like an explanation for why she also works as a showgirl in Las Vegas.

Tom's obviously in the system after having served time. The feds know that a guy with an Irish, British, or South African accent was involved in the museum robbery, which narrows this down if they looks into recent prison releases as they often do when investigating recent crimes.

Jeff's obviously reckless, irresponsible, and selfish which is bound to get him in trouble beyond one guy seeking revenge for his brother's and cousin's murders. Like Annie, he has a distant relationship with his parents, so that could have explored.

Jeff, Tom, and Annie pull smaller jobs that they don't tell Bobby about. I think it was implied that he wouldn't want them to do that, so maybe there could be bigger ramifications if one of their jobs impacts Bobby and Joe.

The team travels with fake/stolen IDs and credit cards, even flying commercially. That's bound to catch up with them. If Annie gets all their IDs from that waitress then at some point ID theft investigators and maybe even the feds investigating the heists will tie things to Vegas, the casino, and the waitress. The team would be on airport security footage and their movements could be tracked. It was pretty bold of them to travel with stolen paintings rolled up, placed into tubes, and check with their luggage. Same goes for renting vehicles that they could steal instead.
