Frank is so private that literally all his speeches about his story are 98% same, the words, the speech delivery and the mannerism too! Almost like as if he has a script ready whenever he's asked to speak about his life. Such a master at illusions even now.
The irony is, of course, that he wasn't a great conman in the 60s and 70s, but eventually became the one he always wanted to be, the one you see right here.
That still doesn't defend him. He targeted mostly individuals and small businesses, ruined many family's lives including he's ex gf's. He also conducted close physical examinations by pretending to be a pilot and going into a school to hire flight attendants (so that part is real, but he didn't manage to actually take them to fly anywhere)
@@peternagy-im4be you’re right! I had to be shown when someone confronted him with evidence that he was in jail during many of these claims, then he was backpedaling pretty fast saying he didn’t write the book, etc. SMH. Glad I saw the truth.
Google just added a disclaimer to their Google Talk video with Frank. It's their way of saying he's a liar. All videos of Frank Abagnale talking about his past should start with similar disclaimers.
@@Musicman3832 What is more shocking is that many companies are still being fooled by him or don't care that he is a pathological liar. For example, ThreatAdvice put up a new video with him 3 months ago. The video was taped on Jan. 6th.
Its amazing how this guy has always conned people and he is still doing that by giving speeches with all lies being told and people paying yo hear his lies.
I thought so to , until I checked him out on Wikipedia , it is all lies he never did any of those things . He is nothing more than a petty thief , that even stole from a children's camp.
@@josephforest7605 yep. it seems he passed stolen blank checks for small amounts and got caught and arrested multiple times. he did pose as a pilot at some college campuses (not at the airports) but there is little evidence to back up any of his other stories
Thank you for sharing, you have spoken to my ego which needs to die, I need to appreciate what I have and who I am. Thank you again for speaking from the heart.
What a greatly empowering man. Dedicated to nothing else but providing for his family and lives with his actions every day. Fascinating case of a criminal turned productive member of society.
Read The Greatest Hoax on Earth Catching Truth, While We Can by Logan. This guy should be in prison. He robbed his loved ones. He's a seedy and scammy as they comes/
I love the family man party of his speech. Whether it be true or not.. he is certainly convincing and conveys a great message at the end of this talk. Hats off to you frank. Im glad you take full responsibilty and are man enough to admit it to the world 🌎 .
Sorry everybody check out his Wikipedia story , he never did it , he was nothing but a petty thief , it never happened .When asked to describe what the people looked like , at the attorney generals office , he could not .He stole from people in there homes and was a shoplifter . He was also in jail during the times , he claimed to be doing these cons .
Im not convinced by his comments about it being immoral, I'm sure Frank enjoyed his adventurous times as a pilot, doctor and lawyer. You don't have to steal to survive.
Well I was in for a shock. Abagnale is a conman, no kidding. Alan Lane's book The Greatest Hoax on Earth documents and proves that Frank Abagnale did not pull off the masterful feats of deceit that he claims. He couldnt have. He was in and out of jail for crimes all through the years when he was supposedly this cast of characters. You tuber Javier Leiva has a series that exposes Abagnale as well. Hes a conman, just not the kind we thought. But it did make for a great movie.
The real story is that he made up or embellished his escapades. He was a small time thief who never cashed millions of dollars of checks. During a good portion of the time he claims he did these things he was in prison for things like stealing cars or cashing checks on a very small level.
I have received the scam phone call about my grandson. He described it perfectly. His Q-A session is good information. Those of you who find his testimony incredulous seem to not hear his perspective. Their harsh response seem disingenuous.
He's a liar and two-bit criminal. Learn the truth. His story is all a lie. Small-time criminal, big con man that got everyone to believe his made-up life story. Hilarious.ua-cam.com/video/-NKHAzY1TWI/v-deo.html
Sometimes craziness and stupidity will lead into an amazing story that will be admired by many... We really can't tell what will be the outcome of the things that we do today... There are circumstances in our lives that will just happened that will lead us into the deepest meaning or purpose of our lives...and then when we looked back, we will just smile and appreciate life no matter how painful everything that we have been through...
@@robertweekley5926 do you know what he was in prison for and for how long? he stole a car and defrauded two families and spent 3 months in a french prison. he wasnt dying
He is good at telling the story, to bad it's 100% fiction. He spent many years in prison where in his stories he is acting as if he is a pilot. All he is is a con man making money based on his lies.
It was all just a lie. Maybe it was Racquel Welch? He could sucker you into believing it. His story is all a lie. Small-time criminal, big con man that got everyone to believe his made-up life story. Hilarious.ua-cam.com/video/-NKHAzY1TWI/v-deo.html
His story was exposed as a total lie in another book called “catch the truth if you can “. He was a small time crook, who prayed on innocent people who was jailed repeatedly for stupid moves
I wish I could contact Frank. His Google speech made me feel so good about the FBI. I wonder what he thinks of them today - because I am disheartened by their since behavior. Frank was their best promoter but since Trump, their star is sunk into the sea of oblivion. In my world, my FBI is the enemy of the people. I am so ashamed of them now. I just wonder if Frank is thus disheartened?
I wonder if Frank Abagnale has ever assisted the CIA his skill set seems like it would be much more valuable to CIA. Also it is a shame that if this deal he made with the FBI was so successful he is the only criminal ever to be offered such a deal by the FBI seems kinda weird obviously any criminal offered this kind of deal would have to be seriously vetted or evaluated & be a genius to be of any valve to the FBI for them to even consider offering this type of similar deal he got but i have a hard time believing there aren't other Frank Abagnale out there who could benefit the FBI or other federal government law enforcement agencies. He is very lucky to get the deal he was offered by the FBI since they have never before or since given that kinda deal to anyone. That's my 2 Cents
You don't know if others have been offered similar deals. No doubt some of the Hackers they arrest end up helping them as a condition of their Parole/Probation.. It's not exactly something they advertise.
Hello go to Wikipedia and check out the true Frank Abagnale story , everything has has been speaking about , all these years are nothing but lies . He never was a pilot , nor was he ever a fake doctor or worked at the attorney generals office. When he was asked to describe the people he worked with at the attorney generals office he could not .His real story is that he has been a petty thief all of his life , with a long record of stealing from people's homes and shop lifting . I was sucked in , when I read his book , but now that I think about it appeared to be all too easy . Yes there is no Santa .
No he never did ,nor did ever work for The FBI as he claims , it is all a put on . Go to Wikipedia and check out Frank Abagnale , what he was is a petty thief that stole from peoples homes and shoplifted from stores .Yes , I was sucked in to believing all of his bull.
Ultra fascinating! Frank should be speaking in the halls of Congress. Sadly, our elected officials would look at him as an obstructionist to their never ending piggy bank.
Frank uses a memory technique familiar to many Freemasons to memorise the 3 Degrees, this explains why he passed the `Bar exams in such a short time. Nothing is new ‘under the Sun’ as the ancient Greeks used similar techniques.
It’s all lies. His con is the he’s telling us now. He was in prison most of the time these things were supposed to happen. You can’t dispute prison records
frank is an amazing individual even when he claims to "clear the record" he lies why? the true story is even more incredible and shows that no matter how intelligent or successful one becomes...it is easy to get conned by the likes of a guy who never actually graduated from high school
When I was 16 I was smoking weed and riding dirt bikes in circles. This guy was traveling the world. They say crime doesn't pay... Sure seems it worked out well for him~
What is wrong with this man introducing Abagnale ?He can't stand still or just keep his head still? Abagnale was simply born very smart ,naturally . He did very well.
Go to Wikipedia and check out Frank Abagnale .So sad I actually believed his speeches and book , then I went to Wikipedia and checked out the true Frank Abagnale story , it turns out he never did any of those things , he has been a petty thief since he was a teenager .I believe it , because in one UA-cam video he shows how to short change a clerk at a cash register , if he never stole from a working person , why would he show how to short change someone .
@@josephforest7605 Why is wikipedia so trustworthy to everyone? People can write bs on there to lol. Like that messed up moderator who kept writing his beliefs about circumcision being the driving theme in Silent Hill Homecoming.

You are right! It's like a written book...I was listening to the speech he did at Google in 2018....exactly the same!
Not that it matters but if it ever did I would love to "join"
He might have had to tell the same story for like a thousand times, he must have internalized his whole speech in his brain.
FACTS
You have seen duped. He is a fraud. Read “the greatest Hoax on earth.”

@@Musicman3832 What is more shocking is that many companies are still being fooled by him or don't care that he is a pathological liar. For example, ThreatAdvice put up a new video with him 3 months ago. The video was taped on Jan. 6th.

And so many just have to chime in because of him...HAHAHAHA

FRANK is a terrific talker
Pretty much everything Frank says sounds sincere except when you say “ I broke the law to survive”. That’s been rehearsed incorrectly.
I feel absolutely certain about 75% of this speech is all fake -- he's a professional con-man to think an ounce of this is true would be foolish.
Closer to 95%. See his Wikipedia page and the book "The Greatest HOAX On Earth" by Alan C. Logan.
He is very narcissistic.
yes, its a con man's trait
all con-men have that point of view.
Rest CON man
