The story of convicted felon and author Frank Abagnale Jr., made popular by the movie Catch Me If You Can, echoes the allegations against the ex-flight attendant from Toronto. The hit Hollywood film, based on Abagnale’s memoir, tells the story of a young man who scams his way into getting free flights by posing as an airline pilot. The main character, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, is eventually arrested by an FBI agent, played by Tom Hanks.
