Frank W. Abagnale
Frank W. Abagnale was born in Bronxville, New York, to a French mother and American father.
He attended Iona Preparatory School and showed early signs of fraudulent behavior by tricking his father with a Mobil card scheme.
After his parents' divorce at 16, Abagnale ran away and began his career as a confidence trickster in New York City.
He later became known for his exploits, which inspired the movie "Catch Me If You Can." Abagnale has since reformed, founding a secure-document corporation in Washington D.C. He now lectures worldwide on fraud prevention and lives in the Midwest with his wife and three sons.
