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.
