FRANK ABAGNALE
Mr. Abagnale had collected over $40,000 from various banks across New York City and by time he had accumulated so much money, the man had faked his way as a university professor, lawyer, pilot and doctor.
The film 'Catch me if you can' was written based on his life accomplishments which include escaping from a moving aeroplane!!! - and still getting away before finally being caught and serving time in a prison in France and Sweden; that's what you call a crook!
HOWEVER!!!
Once Abagnale was imprisoned, he convinced his guards that he was actually an undercover prison inspector and that he needed the privilege of having an unsupervised meeting with his FBI agent contact. The guards believed him!
After finally serving five years in prison, Abagnale was released if he cooperated with the government in detecting fraud. Not one to miss a golden opportunity, he turned his specialized knowledge into a legitimate money-making machine in working for the U.S government.
This is an example of how a man cheated his way through his life and how some would see this negatively as falling into his lies and schemes; he hasn't been punished for it he's being put to good use!
This is the first factual evidence i have researched that doesn't necessarily have a bad outcome.
