      The best example being- Abagnale was housed in Great Meadow Prison in Comstock, New York, between the ages of 17 and 20 as inmate number -25367. Therefore it’s literally impossible to have done nearly everything he claims because he was incarcerated. How do you explain that one Sir?

    Imagine as a kid that you tied a towel around your neck and made something resembling a cape. Then you successfully jumped off your garage and landed safely on the ground. Then you told your parents and friends that you were able to successfully fly around the world with this cape and fight crime and successfully share millions of dollars with the poor. Your parents informed the media about this and it was broadcast all around the world. Later a book was written about you, then a movie. You were even interviewed and had it posted on ThreatAdvice. The biggest con of all though is that this guy is nothing more than a petty thief who was able to continually con people with his BS for decades. He's still telling people that his bath towel allows him to fly and fight crime all around the world. FYI...there are new books and plenty of articles exposing this man as the ultimate con and liar. His family must be proud.

      Videos like this continue to perpetuate a myth and are offensive to his many victims. He was never a doctor, lawyer or professor. Simply an unsuccessful white collar criminal who financially devastated small businesses and families, none of whom he’s ever apologised or paid back.
      That’s not to mention he also sexually assaulted some female college students then bragged about it in various speeches

      Yeah when I found out about the truth behind his back story a part of me was disappointed in a part of me really wasn’t surprised. The only thing I believe is him impersonating a pilot and escaping jail pretty much everything else is a lie.
      And the problem is that he’s trying to present all of this as if it’s factual information. If in his book he put a disclaimer and said that some of the information is over exaggerated or not entirely accurate and that would’ve been fine.
      At least Jordan Belfort was actually honest enough to admit when things were false or over exaggerated. And a lot of the details and his memoir were correct.
