Frank Abagnale from 'Catch Me If You Can' - part 1

[CasperUK31]

For someone with a life we could only dream of, fucking hell he's a boring orator.

[supersingh96]

Frank, your my Role Model!!!!

[heatbucspies55]

That guy is the dude from white collar.

Basically.

[kingofswing3000]

I think his mouth is ready to shout,"Adrian!"

[GiveEmHellMCR]

@TheOvie he only had to fill the boxes, they would have provided him with how many numbers he needed

[bbenjoe]

This guy is hillarious!

[ForgottenMyPassword]

For the 1st hlaf of the vid i thought no one was watching him hahaha

[TheOvie]

this man is inspired me!!!! and the first thing that comes to my mind: it can be happened only in America)

[WillandAlshow]

He is really smart, he took people's money, and he's an expert liar. Why are people so shocked that he works for our government?

[TheRonnie63]

HE IS SO COOL,HE PISSES ICE CUBES!!!

[samkshoemaker]

I'm him for Halloween

[Ishag69]

I bet this guy got so much ass...

[idig]

he is just awsome.

[MiloszCa]

@superjerjer1 The world isn't simple. There aren't just criminals and good people. Frank Abagnale was given a difficult life by his divorced parents and used his intellect to game a corruptible system and survive. He did not harm anyone. He is not an evil man. He ended up paying for his crimes and exposed security holes in various American institutions. That's why he is praised.

That he was labeled a criminal by American law is only one of his attributes and is not sufficient to judge him by.

[superjerjer1]

Why in the world people always praised criminal people, the world is fuck up

[dadubs93]

@superjerjer1 First off he's done more good than harm. He took tiny amounts (in contrast) to the banks he operated against. He took cash from american super banks, hardy robbing the average man. He's prevented more fraud and has lead to a much safer chequer system today with his work over the past decades.

Beside's he hasnt hurt anyone. Never done any harm to anyone on a personal level, just tried to get by in life with the shite hand he was dealt in life.

[raiwren]

This guy is a pure GENIUS. He's my new idol.

I'm 17 and I already feel like a failure... This guys's really something.

[tara8686]

was that before or after the movie was released?

[gears5336]

you know your a bad ass when leonardo dicaprio plays you in a movie about your life.

[lolcatish]

This guy must have had some balls to do all that and then still be a millionare and famous after. He is great. And only 19.

[a94wang]

I CONCUR.

[18greens18fairways]

I concur.

[Dominus357]

I might be too young to get the last joke, anyone care to explain please? :D

[CaramelHoteI]

@Dominus357 He had a pan-am suit, but pan-am doesn't fly where he was at the time. The other pilots commented on that.

[TheOvie]

@CaramelHoteI and also when he filled the aplication for an pan am suit, and he was asked to filled pan am employee number, how did he know what number (how many digits) he should put down? he missed that part of story. There are a few strange things in his story which he delicately went past! so it makes feel like his story a bit fictitious!

[CaramelHoteI]

@TheOvie I think they didn't check the number, you have to keep in mind he got the suit on the spot, and with his charms, probably made them think he was a legit employee.

[11keyboards]

@TheOvie Yeah...just watching this video,  the movie was so much better...He had an interview with someone in pan am, that gavehim his old id card an everything...so...thats how he knew how many digits...Yes..he left lots of parts out in this video..MOVIE wasway better!!!

[CasperUK31]

@TheOvie Read the book.  It explains everything. And goes into more detail.

[fruitconor]

huh i was taught by the same school :P

[PETROSTAN]

haha i live 2 min from bronxville and a few of my friends went to iona also. so cool

[ItzDaTwiGGajD]

i can listen to this guy all day.

[dubbys]

He is very smart yes, but also a complete ass. let me explain: he pretended to be a doctor and treated patients...without a degree, he probably hurt a lot of people, Fuck you Abagnale.

[jas7fc]

@dubbys well he said he served as an administrator so he didn't actually treat any patients...just sayin

[envyranner02]

@dubbys you mad bro? he left when he realized he could really hurt someone

[saiharish89]

dude this guy's a fucking genius.....!!!!

[breakdancer100]

hes no genius, what he has is good height, good looking at 16 anyway, and BALLS. You'll be amazed at peoples' ingenuity at times of desperation.

[BigBen81]

@breakdancer100 iq of 140 makes you a genius, technically...

[breakdancer100]

@BigBen81 Chris Langan has 190 although psychologist say its much much higher than that. He is not that successful in life.

point is; IQ DOES NOT DETERMINE SUCCESS!!! matter of fact, IQ is worthless.....

[mwtillotson]

@breakdancer100

What makes you think it's worthless? It's is highly correlative with success. It is not causation, obviously, but that goes without saying. It is superbly indicative of an individual's mental capacities.

People dislike IQ because they fear it provides an objective measurement for intelligence. It doesn't do quite that; our brains are too complicated to accurately quantify with a single number, but is it "worthless"? Of course not.

[BigBen81]

@breakdancer100 who said genius means successful? who said that being a genius should motivate a person to be successful? you said he's no genius and you were wrong (technically) Furthermore, if you think an iq is worthless, then you have a lot to learn.

[breakdancer100]

@BigBen81 iq is worthless.... Kim peak has an iq of 87. He has near perfect memory, superb mathematic calculating ability, Kicked out of las vegas casino, Human google. So it's you my friend that has a lot to learn about the human brains abilities.

[BigBen81]

@breakdancer100 lol... damn you are lost on this subject. kim peak had an 87 because memory is only ONE component of testable intellect. he had an awesome memory but a very low ability to think in an abstract way. A physical difference in his brain gave him the ability to absorb and retain information much more efficiently than we do but the price he had to pay is low conceptualization, low ability to communicate, low ability to to interact, read body language, voice tone and eye cues.

[breakdancer100]

@BigBen81 Exactly... proving my point. IQ is worthless.

[BigBen81]

@breakdancer100 how so?

[derneuschooer]

he´s a real legend

[mw2freek2010]

he was thaught by the irish yuuuuuup lol

[yesssigotmail]

what the hell. at 16 his iq was 140? and he had a photographic memory too. his iq is probably around 200 now without a doubt

[Nashtak]

@yesssigotmail IQs are supposed to increase with maturity? Let alone, increase by such a large amount? Considering he's not in his prime anymore, i believe you are mistaken.

[chrissywissy321]

pwhaha this guy has some balls lol

[Influx27]

YAY IONA! Now if only it'd taught be to be as tenacious as this man.

[barneygrumble]

his punishment is his haircut

[cleopatrarubia]

lovely he never hurt nobody, everything start when parents divorsed, others are criminals he just was playing with money and fbi like cat and the mouse, i love him

[kizzy75]

This is so cool to listen to after watching the movie. :) dude, I'm 16, and I could NEVER get away with everything he did!

[WestEndActress]

He is so clever. How could he do all this?!

I'd love to see him speak. Anyone know when he'll be in England?

[magicmice]

@WestEndActress

iq 140

[rkrite]

Here is a full version.....

video.google.com/videoplay?doc­id=-6271800786378394176

It is 38 minutes long. A great speech indeed.

[punkerbelle420]

Un-believe-able

[raviept]

There are a lot of envy people. I don't have any reasons to suspect him and also i'm not intested in verifying his story. To be honest, it doesn't matter, since what counts is the message his actions transmit, which is entirely true. You just have to believe in yourself and ignore any stereotypes and envy people that do everything they can to see you in the mood. "Whenever someone says: you can't, reply: watch me".What matters are your actions not your words.Words are for explaining actions.

[StormeDragon666]

I don't mean this insultingly, but does it sound like he memorized this speech? Memories eight minutes' worth of stuff? Photographic memory indeed X)

[sanyo51]

at the time of his swindling he didnt look his age he looked like a grown man.. no wonder he got away

[sanyo51]

awesome guy and story.. this guy was very smart

[rattpoison1]

Frank sure had the guts didn't he? I think , secretly, we'd all like to be able to pull off the things he did. Fascinating guy. Would like to meet him to hear more of his story.

[HateFenians]

Was he a teacher there?

[creeper131000]

amazing men. legend..

[MultiPlayaaa]

@khoigodi 1 your a fool just to even think of that ......YOU TWAT haha

[khoigodi]

who knows if he is fooling us right now? js saying

[pexijx]

get off his nutzzzz

[nozanda]

Can't believe he's still alive and kickin' like this after all that . Anyway , the movie really make the scenes like what really happened.

[TheAnimeStop]

Lol screw over the government and still come out winning

[Krokon1819]

legend.

[MXmurdered]

fag



[YoYoAnimations]

Loved the movie... They could have put the court room scene where they were talking about the divorce like he says... Love leo..

[CpMicke]

Sounds like he is reading out of a book.

[szentagostonka]

Woody Allan: Take the money and run - little similar, but he born for lunk.

[nellgwen48]

@szentagostonka Trout fishing in America. Gong to see Miss Liza, Going to Mississippi.

[90260]

i wounder what he can do now if unleashed

[szentagostonka]

Please write a book for your sexual actions, how to do it for free. Sex for money not too difficult. Just some words for a girl, and ready? I don't belive that. You have left some punishment with together Roman Polansky behind a lattice window.

[szentagostonka]

I think, he is the anticrist.

[tristan01101]

@szentagostonka Nonsense. George Soros is the antichrist.

[szentagostonka]

@tristan01101 No. Soros is one of the best man in the world.

[tristan01101]

@szentagostonka ... Ha, ha, but surely you're joking.

[DavidPollo17]

This man you see... Is my Idol !

Love his Biografi

[apebyen]

A real hero!!

[szentagostonka]

If you have stole money, that is not equal with honor money. You have afraid from doom and police and future.

[ctjmur]

any one who does not love truth is not a genius,

he is only clever because he turned from his lies.

else he would have rotted away like most thiefs

[tmudd24]

great story. the man is articulate, concise, and confident. unfortunately, he is also a con man who has been caught lying about his past before. without proof of his story, i don't believe him.

[Elperr0lol]

@tmudd24 Yeah....that's why there's proof. Pleas research before you post you-think-they-are smart comments but in reality they're moronic.

[tmudd24]

@Elperr0lol

i did do research, the accuracy of a number of his statements are questionably. hell, just look up the wiki on him.

[PreVaylMusic]

@tmudd24 i hope wiki is not your only research collages and universities dont accept it due to the fact that anybody can go and change the info

[tmudd24]

@PreVaylMusic

that wiki, other source, and the fact that this man is a self confessed con artist are all reasons why i am inclined to question some of his stories

[szentagostonka]

Frank Abagnale! Please tell me, what mean "photographic memory"?

[CarlosPePex6]

hi is a boss... *.* XD

[szentagostonka]

I think he was a big leech on the world's body. He has a talent to be a pilot, doctor, or teacher, but he choose the easy way to make money and this way a leech's way.

[akeemak22]

@szentagostonka well he enjoyed his life just as much as you did

[USPSAman]

@szentagostonka well ironically he has now devoted his life to the prevention of crime.

[szentagostonka]

@USPSAman He was a virus, but now an antivirus.

[babehc]

he is a genius 

[Bully259]

such a smooth speaker. wish i could be this guy

[98snakeeater]

I can listen to this guy talk all day long

Evil genius he is

[RespectMyHate]

This guy is brilliant.

[KINGKENNYTHEHOLY]

fascinating story

[szentagostonka]

Shitman

[TheGonzaloDiaz]

@szentagostonka what do you mean?
