No he didn't. He committed other crimes, and almost all the ones he says he did commit, he actually did not do. The actual crimes he committed he never paid back. He is a liar, and he is making millions on his lies.
It isn't that bad, it's an interview, who cares what it looks like, as long as you can hear it properly that's all that matters, Thank you languide for posting this video
@@restymervinponio4026 Read the book The Greatest Hoax on Earth: Catching Truth, While We Can. It will reveal the actual story that Frank still refuses to tell. I use to believe this man, and was crazy about the Spielberg movie; after finding out the truth, I got rid of Frank's book, Spielberg's movie, and even John Williams' soundtrack. I thought that I could just enjoy the film soundtrack on its own, but it just reminded me of Spielberg's ignorance when directing the film; failing to do any of his own research.
@@restymervinponio4026 Just look up the man on Wikipedia, and it will tell you, with cited sources, including a link to a 3-part podcast called "The Real Catch Me If You Can". I would go so far as to call this man a sexual offender, something that he practically happily alludes to in his time he acted as a doctor, which is only true in the case of him giving girls physical examinations at the University of Arizona. He never ever worked for the FBI.
As much as I liked the film and it's cliché to say the book was better which it was, I think Spileberg blew it by not giving some sceen time to Frank's time in the French prison as well as the Swedish extradition and compare his time in jail over there. It would've showed that Frank paid heavy for those years in the French prison, his release and extradition to Sweden was NOT only a relief to the reader but comical as well as suspensful. Speilberg didn't have to remake Papillion but that's what it was like, a long time in darknes, no bed or toilet, then suddenly he gets extradited to a Swedish prison, where they cleaned him up, gave him medical attention and a country club syle cell. Then Frank begged not to be released, even escaped briefly knowing that he was facing some 2 or 3 lifetimes of extraditions, thus he had to escape throught the toilet on the plane back to the US. On the other hand Spielberg picked up on the rehabilitation part and the relationship with Handratty (Hanks character) that Abagnale the writer didn't go in much depth. I think both sides could easily have been in the film. It's a great film and moves well yet Speilberg a legendary filmmaker and craftsman, surely could have got that all in less than 7 to 10 minutes of screentime and well worth it. It would be better for Frank, the man of today, that the world had some more idea of how he paid for his crime and it would have absolutely killed the Hollywood glamourization of being a clever handsome, young Dicaprio conman. If the film had shown at least the scene as the book describes, Frank (Leonardo) leaving the French prison with dreadlock like hair, caked in his own dried feces and incapable of opening his eyes due to being in darkness for so long, that would've been more revealing, dramatic and sympathathetic. You get it then, that crime doesn't pay. 3 mins of screen time at least! Very frusturating. It may have been nominated for an Oscar at least given Leonard some more levels to play with and he may have had an Oscar winning scene and we could've said the film was better than the book, maybe.
A movie has 2.5 hours to tell a story and it is impossible to cram everything in. The director has to think about how to keep the audience attention and he has to leave out lots of things. The movie probably only got a fraction of the story.
Spielberg screwed up entirely by not doing any research, and believing everything this liar told him. Spielberg's whole movie is just one big work of fiction, praising and sympathizing a criminal that really treated his parents like garbage, and never paid for the actual crimes (not displayed in the film, or mentioned in his fake book) that he committed.
Be aware that he had different jobs as a doctor. He stayed for 10 days as a doctor on the day but he changed it to a night job that he had a few of a week.
The scam he mentions at the end is pretty much exactly the same as the one suggested by Eddy in Lock Stock just with different names for things, instead of dildos it's pornography and instead of the rather long winded offensive name Eddy gave it was what Frank said here. If that scam wasn't inspired by that film I would be stunned.
The bunch of them on the right ;) Yes, the quality of the video isn't great, and was digitised from an old tape, but you get an idea. Got a better quality one?
22:20 - funny! Lock stock and two smoking barrels (1998) wrote a variation of virtually that exact same scam he's describing. That means very these two boys, four years down the track, could have seen lock stock, and thought: "shit, that ain't half bad" effectively making Guy Richie the mastermind behind their crime! Hilarious!
Hi all! Have you ever heard regarding the Tube Cash Exposure? I came across it on Google Search and listened to quite a few great stuff about it. Some of my pal also highly recommend me to get it
Greg moral person where's it gonna get him? one day closer to death. the problem is he like everyone else can never pay for his sin', . the Bible say's the wage's of sin is death But the free gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ to reject God;s plan of salvation and try to save yourself is a greater mistake than he made the first time around .not to mention protecting illegal unconstitutional fractional banking system that enslaves the world. what's it profit a man to gain the whole world but lose his soul?
he claims he was only "playing a doctor" for 10 days....but in a different video i just watched in which he was giving a speech to a large audience he said he did so for a year. hmmm.
@Blair Bart There's a book, and a podcast, and actual police records of what he really did. I would go so far as to say he even committed sexual misconduct. He's so happily admitted how he posed as a doctor at the University of Arizona and performed physicals on young ladies (this, ironically, is one of the few truths he has told).
He talks about his company as in the movie credits and teaching and advising FBI without pay but in a receant Google interview he does not mention anything about his company or having companies as clients but only said he kept his job as an agent at the FBI. Go figure. But whatever it is he was young and unwise and suffered horribly for his actions for ten years, away from family, friends, his country, running away or in jail, lost his youth, his friends, schooling, and his father along the way.
Thanks to youth and luck he enjoyed an awesome adventure, but all alone with no peace of mind he created a good life and a good family..he gave back to society for all of us , we are all just humans remembering that we are all one “family” ...that outcome would not be possible (the good outcome) if we cannot count on the power of people who are loving unconditionally and their forgiveness, he would have been miserable 😩 and none of us would enjoyed the experience. Let’s hope we all can forgive ourselves and use the positive energy to help others who may have less luck or less talent but we can enjoy helping others who can pass it on and pay it forward. Please don’t waste your time making my philosophy of life sound negative or foolish--who cares..try doing good, when ever you can and forgive me if I bothered you . I don’t believe we need any supernatural god to tell us what to do...we do want your help and love 💕 even unearned love is powerful and I want to give it to you and anyone else who can make a difference. Thanks
I am reading The Greatest Hoax on Earth: Catching Truth While We Can. I used to be crazy about this film, and I liked the book, but after reading the real story, and finding out so much of a continual fake he continues to be, I can't stand it. This guy just continues to embellish his story, and he did steal from individuals, causing much pain, because he stole from people who thought highly of him. He continues making money based on his lies.
Yup. I just heard of this guy for the first time 2 days ago. He did an interview on Carson. Then I checked out some other things and saw a comment similar to yours. They mentioned the book, and I decided to read it instead. Within 2 days, I can't stand the guy. The way he treated families who took him in is brutal. Then figure in he wasn't some big time international crook. He was a small time shyster who usually got caught within a week or 2. The glorification of this guy is unreal. I can understand it in the pre-internet days. It's kind of surprising that even with all the information today, people still buy into his story.
This is a classic case of a confused young man who did wrong to survive learning from his mistakes and helping the FBI to make sure this didnt happen again I have read the book he thought of it as a game but showed the FBI how to fix the mistakes that he could take advantage of. He isnt a bad man or a douche he almost died in the french prison which was horrible look it up, What have you done in your life?
he is a mastermind....what a genius he must have been and he still is....think outside the box like him
He is absolutely un-intimidatable - and has the biggest balls in the universe.
This is an Awesome video, thanks for posting it!
He more than compensated for his crimes. He turned out to be a great human being. Bravo!!!
No he didn't. He committed other crimes, and almost all the ones he says he did commit, he actually did not do. The actual crimes he committed he never paid back. He is a liar, and he is making millions on his lies.

He's a phony.

Nice Guy! Very Charismatic! I like him! He's got character! as opposed to most of the human race nowadays!
YOU ROCK !!!!
Just so everyone knows Hanratty was not the real name for Hanks character it was changed for the movie. The real guy is Joseph Shea
Yeah, and he was no friend of Abagnale.
He is amazing!!!!!
His is story is proven to be a lie
was frank in the film as a camio at the end when the French police arrested him kind regards
The question asked at 20:30 was bold and impressive.
'I am riding around for free , the plane is going to fly anyway' just the same think I would think if i'd be you.
Be aware that he had different jobs as a doctor. He stayed for 10 days as a doctor on the day but he changed it to a night job that he had a few of a week.
I noticed that as well! The scam was most definitely inspired by the film. I just had no idea that in reality it would actually work. Wow.
Recorded in a potato, but great content. Awesome
The scam he mentions at the end is pretty much exactly the same as the one suggested by Eddy in Lock Stock just with different names for things, instead of dildos it's pornography and instead of the rather long winded offensive name Eddy gave it was what Frank said here.

I liked the interviewer.
frank did what u call fuck it mode
Молодец !
The bunch of them on the right ;)
Yes, the quality of the video isn't great, and was digitised from an old tape, but you get an idea.
Got a better quality one?
Andy Whitaker sang a song about Frank Abagnale on his album Things That Happened on Earth.
Dude u have guts
No one can out con this man. Legend is the con artist community I think.
22:20 - funny! Lock stock and two smoking barrels (1998) wrote a variation of virtually that exact same scam he's describing.

Hilarious!
he pretended he was a dr. for a year, but only was at the hospital job for 10 days...
I was a kid and I couldn't spend 2 millions dollars.... The way he said it was like "I just had an apple"
recorded with a stop watch?
Just follow your fucking gut, that's the shortcut to success.
Video was very fuzzy
I was going to make that same comment. In all the videos I have seen the story was 1 year.
Hi all! Have you ever heard regarding the Tube Cash Exposure? I came across it on Google Search and listened to quite a few great stuff about it. Some of my pal also highly recommend me to get it
Rita Lama congrats aunty
he is retired, and is still good friends with Frank
He was never friends with Frank.
He may not be a "christian", but he now exemplifies all the christian values of love, forgiveness, redemption, and service....

What happened to his friend Handratty?
His real name is Joseph Shea, and he was never his friend. Shea is now dead.
I think he is hilarious :D
There's absolutely no excuse for what he did
he claims he was only "playing a doctor" for 10 days....but in a different video i just watched in which he was giving a speech to a large audience he said he did so for a year. hmmm.
Keep questioning it.
This woman is so charged up and annoying!
She is really an asshole
I WANTED TO SAY... SHUT UP BITCH!!!
No, she's showing what a fake he is.

I think I got a brain tumor from the crappy video quality....almost had a seizure...anyway, cool story :P
The interviewer is horrible. She acts like a judge than an interviewer.
She sees through the bullshit story, that's why.
@Blair Bart yes it is. I used to believe in his lies; I used to really enjoy the movie as well.
NO one has the balls to do what he has done
terrible picture
dislike for the very low quality!!
this video was posted 3 years ago and this video should only be mainly listened.
The interviewer is so combative and so irritating. Because of this I cant give a thumbs up
