Summary:
Frank W. Abagnale, alias Frank Williams,
Robert
Conrad
, Frank Adams, and
Robert
Monjo, was one of the most daring con men, forgers, imposters, and escape artists in history. In his brief but notorious criminal career, Abagnale donned a pilot's uniform and copiloted a Pan Am jet, masqueraded as the supervising resident of a hospital, practiced law without a license, passed himself off as a college sociology professor, and cashed over $2.5 million in forged checks, all before he was twenty-one. Abagnale lived a sumptuous life on the lam - until the law caught up with him. Now recognized as an authority on financial foul play, Abagnale is a charming rogue whose stranger-than-fiction international escapades make this an irresistible tale of deceit. This true story of a con man was the basis of the 2002 movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
