This Champ didn't even hesitate once on his speech. Not even a hiccup or a script needed. It is quite clear Frank Abagnale knows himself very well. He even mentions about how it is important the a family be whole.
You are just the fool his scam has been able to live a long life off of. There is literally 100 videos of him giving exactly the same speech. He memorized a script. Actors do this .
I wonder why it took 50 plus years for someone to investigate his claims? Checking jail records should be easy. I do find his stories very hard to believe, but I also believe he "is" guilty of some of the incedences he mentions during his speeches. I wonder if there are pictures of him and his family, and his 50 plus years of life that somehow supports his words? Whether he is guilty or not, he definitely tells a dang good story. He has fooled many people during his live starting at the age of 17. Now, 50 years later, will we know the exact truth?
It's just not true. He does not work for the FBI. He never was admitted to the bar etc etc. When confronted, he said he did not write the book or movie. His FBI references said they did not "work" with him. He is an effective speaker, but NOT part of the FBI, nor was he ever.
Most of everything he claimed can not be substantiated. The people. who worked at the hospital he claimed he worked at. never heard of him. The position he claims he got did not exist. The people who worked at the law office in Louisiana never heard of him. The escape he supposedly made did not happen. The prison has no record of him having been there. He did not get the amount of money he claims he got.
The man has a unique "template", he really doesn't take it all serious and enjoys the "on stage", has a good timing, and sense of humor, and he has an innovative mind.
He has sucked so many people in with his fake story .Alan C Logan researched Frank's story and it is all phony , Frank was in jail during his entire teen years .So Frank was not a pilot, doctor or lawyer .
You can tell he is very HONEST 16:40 about his Wife changing him and his own kids family and last 25 yrs working for FBI?. and very truthful talkng reciting his past here now this pt in his life. ( pretty ironic) But u can tell he remembers loves his Mom and Dad growing up remembers cherishes them b4 16 running away when they got divorced... sad too bad. yeh rest of story his life big Cin job... stupid people veill fall fir anything... he obviously is a very very smart guy uust by way he talks here and his speech talk he gives. He very used to dealing w comfortable w people of all kinds... but sure he paid the price in those awful prisons.
Need to see what this guy looked like in the late '60s, then see if my old man recognizes him from walking around the HQ next to Grand Central. He set up all the phone systems at various Pan Am hubs around the country. And also was put in charge for no reason whatsoever of the wet bar and music in the penthouse next to the helicopter pad. Because The '60s... ;)
oh why did his father have to die? A decent man who treasured and cared for his kids and put effort into making them happy..why ??!! must such stuff happen to decent people who don‘t deserve it?
I tell youThe Truth.. Your Young life story in The Movie CATCH ME IF YOU CAN was entertaining, but of course your Money making Ideas were out of ordinary.You Travel The World, pausing as A Commercial Pilot...withdrawing 2.5 Million Dollars and Driving Bankers go Crazy, without using a gun. Just plain Con Art against The Marks ! Pausing yourself as a Teacher, A Physician and A Lawyer and did it well was Artistic, but your life was just like you were in A Jungle. Some Poisonous Snakes, Scorpions would bite you In the Neck. You served your Prison Terms. We Love your 90 degrees turn around not Pausing as a Guru of The Federal Bureau of Investigation, But as a Real Asset of FBI against Swindling ! Can We classify you as A Legendary Men like Robin Hood, Jesse James, D.B.Cooper, Valentino, and Playboy Bunny Founder.Hugh Hefner?... YES WE DO !
wow...well what an unusual life, at first it was all fun and games but you see quickly how it turned into remorse and his pain really showed, whatever fun he's had its not right to break the law and it ultimately has its day, if it weren't for the government he would still be in prison today rotting in his cell
Thank God the FBI hired him to fight crime, win win for all. Just met a retired FBI agent who told me all about this criminal turned brilliant crime fighter...
@@airgliderz then he's been conned too. Much of what he claimed to have done, is dubious. Many journalists have chased up his claims and found no evidence that what he said actually happened. Nonetheless - a very polished public speaker and a con artist to the end. He's done very well out of exaggerating his claims.
@@airgliderz Nope. Sorry. His own state’s biggest newspaper has exposed him. Many people have built on that research and have exposed him ten times over. A complete fabrication.
What a great speaker and mensch! He has this long speech down pat, and a great sense of humor, and I admire him greatly for his skills in all areas.
Well written Frank....... 90% move 10% actual.
Fantastic story and speaker. Brilliant movie of his life as well
How can you not like this guy. I love him!!
Hints why he was able con so many people

I really love the way you said God gave him a wife and children and it changed his life. What an interesting fascinating story.😊
Genuinely likeable, charismatic, charming, intelligent, funny, witty, and self deprecating. No wonder he scammed the world for 5 years.
"and we both got screwed that night" - amaaazing
That's in the movie too.
@@ellenmurphy2150 That was Johnny Carson's response in his interview.
@@chrischeshire6528 Johnny came up with that line.
This guy is awesome. Perfect speech. Great communicater
He's absolutely brilliant.
Excellent presentation, very interesting story.

Prove what you just said. Everything you say can't be substantiated.
Or they don’t want to admit they got conned
He's so full of crap, his eyes are brown!
Read "The Greatest Hoax on Earth: Catching Truth, While We Can" by Alan Logan
He was a smart child trying to survive. I like him he's interesting.
The man has a unique "template", he really doesn't take it all serious and enjoys the "on stage", has a good timing, and sense of humor, and he has an innovative mind.

Fucking amazing... This guy is a genius.
The remark that we both got screwed, was uttered by Johnny Carson when he was on the Carson show. I guess he still jokes too.
STEALS JOKES
This was refreshing ! Especially the end line
very moving love you. share the same feeling we need mom and dad. you are the nice soul
That was sincerely great!
What a story-teller !

Funny and smart and credits his wife for changing his life. Seems like a good guy.
Been a fan of the movie for some time but this is the first actual interview of Frank I have watched. Very interesting story.
Thi
This speech was better than the movie.
Wow! Amazing story.
Love him.
incredible. Great guy
Children need their parents. That's why divorce is so bad.
Frank Abagnale does not say what he did in France and Switzerland and elsewhere so he was wanted by their police and Interpol.
It is just so astonished to know Cheryl with $400 paid to Frank event in the movie was a true fact, evidenced by this speech!
THANK YOU
10 days turned into a year? In more recent videos, He was only at the hospital for 2 weeks!!! He either forgot his own story or he's still conning us!
Oh he is conning alright.
So dude was earning much more he ever tell before...
HEs a BIT arrogant, but then why wouldnt you be if you are clever enough to have done what he did.

After his conviction and release from prison, he appeared on To Tell The Truth > th-cam.com/video/5w9NsxWFYFU/w-d-xo.html
What a legend.
Spoken well.
Rehearsed AF
Incredible man. Incredible story. Incredible BS. Still a con man making junk up.
Super-model, He's gotta be talking about Cheryl Tiegs.
Lots if lies to keep the audience riveted. Great con man but he only did a fraction of what he says.
Very very clever man. The last 6 or 7 minutes shows just how wise he really is.
He lived 2 doors down from me in Tulsa oklahoma. My family new his history. I remember him driving by and was always smiling.
Nothing remotely clever about him . Entire life story is BS, just an unsuccessful petty thief and fantasist
@@clintperry799 ask him when he’ll be apologising to Paula parks and all the other people he ripped off
Seems like he took his bad experience and embellished it. He wrote a book. Fiction or not the book amd movie are entertaining
oh why did his father have to die? A decent man who treasured and cared for his kids and put effort into making them happy..why ??!! must such stuff happen to decent people who don‘t deserve it?
Uhh, everyone dies at some point.
Guessing you do not have a lot of life experience. Wars,accidents,homicides,disease.

His every life story video on TH-cam is exact word to word. Is this a conspiracy by FBI ? Very old to the recent, every word is the same.
i thought "catch me if u can" true story was a bit over the top...but after hearing him i can say its underwhelming
10:44 lol that woman is piiiist!
U
tacky, and the audience shots are not from the same era in which he was speaking.
wowww
This is just a story. He wrote bad checks, the rest nonsence
No it's a real story, just met a retired FBI agent who told me about him.
Yeah, because the FBI is going to waste many years trying to run down a guy who wrote some bad checks. Always a sceptic in the crowd somewhere.

A totally fake story , made up by Frank.
