Perhaps the most famous former con-man in the world talks about his life. Fascinating!
Frank Abagnale was the subject of Stephen Spielberg's movie Catch Me If You Can, about a youth who fled his divorce-broken home and spent years impersonating occupations (pilot, lawyer, doctor) and becoming a very successful cheque-fraud artist. After being caught and serving time, he joined the FBI and is one of their top experts on cybercrime and security.
In the video he talks about some of his criminal capers, talks about his moral redemption (not religious, moral) and his compass, and then answers some questions with very interesting information about current security risks that all of us face.
Entertaining, funny, and concerning (he says that credit / banking related crimes are easier now than they were 40 years ago).
