Former Con Artist Abagnale Says Technology Breeds Crime

Technology makes it a lot easier to cheat today, according to reformed con artist Frank Abagnale. The man who made $2.5 million in the 1960s as a teenager faking identities as an airline pilot, lawyer and doctor now works with the FBI and others on cybercrime. He even had a role in the investigation into last year’s JPMorgan Chase & Co. hack, he said in an interview this week near Trafalgar Square in London.Abagnale became famous after the 2002 Steven Spielberg movie “Catch Me If You Can,” starring Leonardo DiCaprio, based on his autobiography.
