Frank Abagnale

Frank Abagnale gained notoriety all around the globe for his fraudulent crimes. More than 50 years ago, he was an infamous con man, check forger, and impostor. He became one of the most scandalous impostors in history, alleging to have taken no lesser than eight identities, including a United States Bureau of Prisons agent, a physician, a lawyer, and an airline pilot. He escaped twice from police custody and before starting to work for the federal government, he spent less than five years in prison. The Academy Award-nominated feature film, Catch Me If You Can (2002), was inspired by Abagnale's riveting story. Today, this American security consultant gains majority of his income from his public speaking engagements and counselling with major corporate clients such as AARP, Intuit, LexisNexis, and Experian. Abagnale declines any payment for any of his government work.
