Catch Me If You Can: Frank Abagnale's Story

[@davidforster8650]

My old grandfather used to tell me, Frank Abagnale is worthy of people's respect and admiration, but should never forget he is a criminal and did bird for it...Frank is an interesting person, what he did in 5-6 years many could not pull off in 5-6 lifetimes...He is a good talker as well and quite witty at times

[@germandelariva3754]

Said very well

[@kuatiogui]

should have started his speech with "my name is Frank Abagnale, that's Abagnale, not Abagnarle, not Abagnaile, but Abagnale."

Paula Parks was a new Delta stewardess, with whom FA had a huge attraction to. He was able to smooth-talk her parents into inviting him to live with them. Mark Zinder was a publicist and booking agent for FA early in FA career. Parks and Zinder contributed a LOT to the book, that shows most of the FA story is a hoax. Released in December 2020, The book 'The Greatest Hoax on Earth: Catching Truth, While We Can" by Alan C. Logan (Author), Paula Parks (Foreword), Mark Zinder (Foreword The book very thoroughly investigated the life of FA, and clearly shows what parts of the FA book are fiction, and which could be verified. With hundreds of receipts and convincing data, Logan clearly shows that FA has perpetuated a great hoax, and most of his story are absolutely lies upon more lies.

[@andimjustferocious3653]

The bit 22:26 where he tells us that he used a magnetic encoder to encode his own bank details onto the cheque deposit slip card seems a bit strange. From what I understand..... The bank had some type of form used for people to deposit cheques into their own account. At the bottom of the form, attached was credit card type card with magnetic strip....that the bank would presumably then encode with your bank details, so you could then deposit the cheque into the correct account. My question is......surely this is bassically just another bank card........why would the bank issue you with blank bank cards.........for you to have to get encoded at the bank when you want to deposit money. Also........if he then encoded his own details on there......surely the banks encoder would pick up on the fact that the card already had someone elses details on it. Seems strange to me........am I misunderstanding???

[@AnthonyGerardiAndroidWare]

AndIm JustFerocious. Not a blank card. He's referring to deposit slips that still are there at every bank for anyone to fill out with there info. Now you dont even need them causr a teller will let you swipe your card and fill it out for you. But back than cards werent around much so you out your own acct number on it with the amount and hand that to the teller. Teller would take money and put it in the account you put on the slip. He put his acct number on all the slips so if ppl didny pay attention the teller would read and enter his acct and money would enter his

Frank himself for five years he was on the run and everywhere he went he bounced checks and paperhanged. In 1969 he was spotted by a flight attendant who was actually an INTERPOL ghostwriter and they tailed him to Marseille and the suburb of Montpellier where he was caught. Frank spent time in the hole at Perpignan Prison where he got extradited to the United States and received 12 years in Atlanta. most of the scenes in Catch Me If You Can are true some of the names were changed to protect the innocent and to protect the identity of undercover agents. Frank then tried to escape at JFK Airport but got arrested by security when he entered Canada without a passport. he busted out of Atlanta but got sent back in 71 he was freed and then he went to work for the FBI since then he is the president of Abagnale and Associates and is the head of the FBI Bunco Squad with assistance from his son Scott whose job it is to put people who try to copycat Abagnale behind bars. since 71 Frank has made more then 800 arrest most of these crimes were bunco related everything from paperhanging, identity theft, check fraud, check floating, and check washing.

He ran away from home, (a divorce) and was on his own at the age of 16,--where in that youthful American mind of the time, anything is possible. He did not earn a scholarship in HS, and public school probably bored him. The pivotal point was running away because of parental divorce.

From 44min on how not to get into a trap of doing something wrong and pay a price for that. I’d like to call it a 3 min rule to have time before taking action. I see this applies not just to commit crime but to make any decision so that one can avoid making mistakes - by simply taking time to be quiet and be aware of the situation one is in. I am into spiritual path to live life by being sincere and truthful, eg, Zen. There are ideas like this that we may benefit from - example; when one gets upset or angry, but if we can sustain to be quiet for 90 seconds, the anger may just dissipate. (this, I heard from from Jill Bolt Taylor - stroke of insight). To me, it like a biological dimension of getting to know ourselves - who we are and why we do what we do. In short, catch yourself if you can!

the best part of his speech it was all great but ethics something noone has anymore!

[@yankee2666]

Who's noone? Oh, you mean 'no one'. Yeah, ethics and correct grammar; both are things that are lacking in a lot of people.

much respect for you !!

[@jansa940]

i don't get the adoration for this guy, so he was a really good self-centered con man. yet a lot of other people who make the world a better place, everyday, go unnoticed.

[@josephforest7605]

So true especially since his entire story is BULL. Check out The Real Story Behind Catch Me If You Can , researched by Alan C Logan .

Such an amazing story.

[@porcupinecraig]

Totally fake. He didn't do any of it. Look it up. Wiki tells the truth. He doesn't.

[@Rizzob17]

@@porcupinecraig there is a reason Wikipedia was not allowed as a source in high school and college and you are proof of that.

[@DMalltheway]

@@Rizzob17Watch the Real Catch me if you can podcast, public records showed he was in prison most of the time he claimed he performed his con’s. Your getting conned so bad.

[@bryanc1975]

The part from 22:40 to 23:20 seems a bit far fetched. Didn't the other people have to write in their account number on those forms somewhere? He's a brilliant guy and it's a hugely entertaining story, but I'm sure much of it is seriously embellished. I mean, that's this guy's game after all.

[@jb0579]

Bryan Carter that's what I was thinking...didnt other ppl have to write in their OWN acct nmbrs??

[@SueRosalie]

A rare person who is the very epitome of morals and ethics and genuine remorse - plus he practised what he preached and went on to raise outstanding children.

[@timothywilliams1359]

You should do more research on him. The man's entire life story is fabricated. He is a pathological liar with no conscience and no remorse for the countless individuals he defrauded and hurt.

[@CSSD2000]

Wow. What a story. I loved the movie too

[@Solitude47152]

It’s all made up. New book out confirms none of his stories are true.

[@porcupinecraig]

It was all made up. Frank is a complete liar. Stop believing him.

[@SimplyLimbo]

I dont agree with "what makes u a man" Because what if you are the best husband a man can be ? U provide, u never cheat, etc, but the woman suddenly gets a midlife crisis, and start doing things which are diametricaly opposed to who she was ? And even leave her man, because in her mid 40's (or 50, whatever) start acting like a 16yr old instead of a real mother or wife ? (Or another example) What makes u a man, is to overcome everything in life what they throw at you in life ! What makes u a man, is when everything around you, all odds are against you, NOT giving up and go on ! Together with having a moral compass, ur word, and ABOVE all "Loyalty" THAT is what makes you a man !

[@Calletobefree]

You stay loyal to her, because ultimately, it's about your integrity at that point, and if by chance you do reconcile, you're marriage can be stronger still.

[@damarisbauman6091]

SimplyLimbo u can never be a perfect spouse just be the best u can to your Ability that's what he is saying I think and is goes for women as well they have = parts that they care and provide for in a relationship if one is not doing there part it's not a relationship There can be other ways that people think of what makes a man is that's just what he believes and has experienced

[@jaimeadametz1299]

what makes u a man is different for everyman. I don't beleive there is any one answer that is rite. Just what is rite for each and individual man.

[@michaelsteffen4887]

SimplyLimbo-you are 100% correct. That is how I live my life and it works-very well.

[@terriecotham1567]

He has change so much from the kid out in the world trying to make it work. Is he a true criminal yes and no or no and yes. He is no longer the kid or person he was at 16 or 17 just as kids sent to NAM at 18 had to grow up some never came back and those that did were not the same He is a amazing person and what he did was no less amazing What is a criminal under the law or under God's Law Thanks for posting his story is well time well spent.

[@TheRonnie63]

Wonderful Guy Whom Came Good

[@pacoallejandro4142]

Here he comes again. Ooh. Catch him if you can. Ooh. He will shout with all of his might -

[@TTF1996]

At least he redeemed himself. He really didn't need to forge checks though to earn money. He was a smart guy, he just didn't utilize his talent properly.

[@ValeraParameciumCaudatum]

Amazing story

[@hyperhype1000]

There's another video of him giving this exact same speech... by rote. Read Kevin Dutton's book "The Wisdom of Psychopaths", Frank Abagnale is mentioned in it by Dutton. He has all the manipulative traits, the confidence, the gift with words. I just cant help but think that this man has no guilt ,empathy or conscience.

[@declup]

"I'm the purchasing officer... Getting ready to expand new routes... We're very impressed by the PanAm format ..." How does a 16-18-year-old know how to speak like that? That's not just intelligence; that know-how has to come from somewhere, some kind of lived experience.

[@josephforest7605]

He fooled so many people including Johnny Carson and I also believed what he said . He was on To Tell the Truth in 1977, he was charged with passing bad cheques in 1978 , that is the same time he claimed he was working at The FBI .Look at Wikipedia , Frank Abagnale , the veracity of his stories . Yes there is no Santa .

[@Jay-vr9ir]

Because it never happened ,he never did any of the things he said .Check KZbin **EXCLUSIVE CONTENT**THE REAL STORY BEHIND CATCH ME IF YOU CAN-The Crime Reel

Number one he's no dummy he speaks very well he's quite Charming I can see how he got away with a lot of the stuff that he got away with although he's older now I'm sure he was quite good-looking when he was young when you're charming and nice looking you get away with a lot of stuff

[@andimjustferocious3653]

These are people who are my heroes. The people who had the balls AND the ingenuity to play the system at its own game and at least to some degree, win. I have little intrest in gangster tough guys who make money selling drugs, debt collecting and enforcment, I like the guys who step back a bit and have a look at the system theyre living in and find a way of abusing it. Even though the government and banks know the criminals want to, even though the government have the intel and technology, the criminals STILL manage to beat it. Anyone can get a gun and do a robbery. Anyone can by an ounce of coke and turn a profit. But not anyone can have the vision to imagine a possibilty and the inteligence to 'hack' the system we are enslaved by. I love scam artists. Just dont target the average working man.

[@thisguy7509]

AndIm JustFerocious fair I like ur point the government just shits on whoever it's nice when someone fucks with them

[@pyrofful]

He is right I wish more couples saw his speech. Divorce screws up the kids for life. Doesn't really matter the age obviously the younger the more difficult but even older kids and young adults. Most people don't really think about that. Great speech. You can tell this guy is wise just how he talks and carries himself. Thanks for posting
