  17. Frank Abagnale is very intelligent. I feel like all of the things that he did was crazy, but very clever. Although he committed various crimes, his current position in helping out the government for check fraud is justifiable. As long as he is conbributing to catching others like him, I feel like him being out of jail is justifiable.

I know that what he did was wrong, but its extremely impressive.

  24. Frank may have made some bad decisions and decided to cheat the government, but he really was a smart man. He wasn't a criminal that was a lost cause. He just got his thrills off the feeling of being chased. He just wanted everything to be a game. He knew he would get caught, and he knew he didn't have any options so he decided to work for the FBI when they offered him a job. It turned out to be a smart move and he became very successful.

  25. Frank was insanely smart, he could tell if a check was real or fake from just picking it up, and could tell whether or not it was real or not. He helped the FBI in so many ways in the check fraud department. He could pretty much figure out anything like how close they were. Like when he figured out that the guy that was stealing checks somewhere in arizona and could tell that the guy was stealing the checks from the mail box.

  26. My opinion is that Frank Abagnale is a genius and very quick witted. In his interview he said that it would be stupid for him to think that he would have never get caught, because anyone who breaks the law gets caught. He turned his smartness in crime after being incarcerated for years into a good thing by helping the FBI find holes in how they can prevent what happened from happening again. For that, I respect him alot.

  27. I think Frank learned a lot from his dad at a young age. When his parents divorced, Frank kinda fell over the edge and lived life the only way he knew how, by lying. Frang lied through life and eventually it caught up to him. He realized to live comfortably he needed money to do so, he made his own checks to get more money than he really needed. Frank had to be extremely intellegent to out smart banks, and the FBI. He passed the bar exam after only studying for 2 weeks. I think Frank could have been extremely successful right from the beginning if he would have got a job and went to college. Even though Frank put him self through truouble, he ended up being extrememly successful.

  29. Frank Abagnale is very intelligent but he needed someone to correct his thinking. He learned his skill as a criminal but we learned his true nature when he helped the FBI and other companies. The best thing that happened to him was getting arrested and learning to use his skill to help others.

  30. Frank Abagnale is very clever. Honestly how many people run out of money and come up with things like impersonating a night guard at a bank or impersonating doctors, lawyers, and teachers. Frank was always good at impersonating, he impersonated a substitute teacher at his school for a whole week before anyone found out. Frank is also very good in tough positions, he knows how to talk his way out of things and how to hide/blend in. He is very sneaky.

  31. I think that Frank Abagnale is just a troubled young lad. He seems to have found himself in a family with no emotional support. They do not allow him to learn and grow. He leaves his home. As a parent, it is important to protect your children. Clearly, Frank did not have this protection. It was inevitable that Frank would turn to other means for finding safety. He learned to survive in his own way. I think that Frank broke the law, and he deserved punishment. However, he also needed help. Frank needed a family to show him love.

  32. Frank was obviously smart and brilliant and intelligent but I think one huge thing that contributed to his success was the era of his crimes. I think he was before his time in his way of thinking because he was able to outsmart the government and he was able to steal millions before anyone knew anything about him which shows the security of the government in the 70's was terrible. I think he was smart but I also think he was very opportunistic and bold to be able to run this kind of operation by himself.

  33. Frank Abagnale was a very clever man. He knew how to talk people out of one thing and could easily distract them to get his way. He tricked many people into thinking he was a pilot, doctor, and lawyer. He had a very good system to doing things but it wasn't smart to keep doing it because he got in so much trouble.

  34. Frank did many bad things, but knew how to get away with it for awhile. He realized what he did was wrong and he wanted to give up and not get caught and move on with his life. In the end he became a employee for the FBI. So, it worked out to his advantage kind of, with him getting sentenced to a life of ease with helping catch check crooks.

  35. Frank is a very intelligent man. He made some bad choices by stealing money from the government and forge checks. He may have been a criminal but he knew that he would get caughht eventually. Nobody can get away with forging checks for the rest of his life. And in the end it turned out alright for him becuase he got out of jail and was able to work for the fbi and continue on his life and have a family

  36. I believe that Frank Abangnale is the true defintion of a genius, he was very smart and wise about all of his actions that he committed. However, I think that he used those actions and abused them, when he could have used those the gifts he had and used them to help out the FBI instead of getting in trouble. I don't think of him as a bad person but I do think he made the wrong decison by using it for illegal activities. I agree with his punishment, that instead of going to jail, he was sent to work for Carlinstead of wasting his brains sitting in jail for the rest of his life.

  37. I think william abagnale was a smart man. He had to be very smart to be able to cheat the system and counterfeit checks. He made sure he made all of his checks identical to any other checks and have to make sure they were the same in every way. He did end up in prison which was the downfall of all of his work, although being able to work for a company that works with check fraud was a great option that he was given.

  41. Frank is genius I think. He is able to get lots and lots of money by just printing off checks that he wants. What ever he wants to do he does. Since he was so smart he was able to, after he got caught, work for the company that was going to arrest him. He is so smart that he was able to trick a girl into marrying him when he wasn't even using his own name. Probably the smartest guy in the world.

  42. Frank is a very smart person. He is able to trick and inpersonate many people. He would just make up a new name and be able to make eveveryone believe that that was actually him. Also he was able to pass the BAR exam after studying for only two weeks. That is just un heard of anywhere. He got rich by making some of the best counterfit checks ever. In my opnion Frank is a genius. Anything he tried to accomplish he was able to do. Has to be one of the smartest criminal our country has ever seen.

  43. Even though Frank was a criminal and stole millions of dollars, you have to give him credit for being able to get away with for as long as he did, and he only got away with it for so long because he was smart, he knew what he doing. I think he learned from his mistakes, and acclomplished alot by working for the FBI.

  44. In my opinion Frank Abangnale is a really smart guy, even though he didn't use it to do good things with it. But to be honest with you, if I was that clever I'd probably do the same thing to survive.

  46. My opinion of Frank Abagnale is that although the man is very smart and clever, he in truth is a jerk. He stole from countless innocent people to become rich. I like the idea, but the law is the way it is because you need to earn the money you make. He deserved to go to prison for his actions, but I'm not exactly sure why he continued if he knew he would be caught.

  47. I think Frank is a very smart young man who beat the system right in front of their face. I think because he was so young when he did this that instead of punishing him he should get a medel or somehting.

  49. I think he is a genius. He is cunning and sly. Frank pretty much gets what he wantsand can talk himself out of any situation. Apparently he's the luckies con artist ever, as he got out of jail because the very people who hunted him down offered him a job.

  50. In my opinion, Frank Abagnale was a resourceful person. Its apparent that his parent divorce hurt him deeply, however, through the pain he decided to make something of his life. Although he made something of his life by breaking the law, he proved his intelligence time and time again.
