Testimonials

"Frank Abagnale is an extraordinary human being, brilliant, compassionate, honorable and a past master at his craft. The word genius is overused, but here it applies." - David, Former Assistant Agent in Charge Federal Bureau of Investigation, and current Deputy Director of The Memorial Institute for the Prevention of Terrorism

"What a remarkable night Frank gave us at the FBI Citizens Academy talk Monday evening... The gift of his knowledge to the thousands he speaks to these vast years is making a difference. His experience as a desperate young man, intelligent, successful and driven, lends credence and attention to everything he's telling us. That, coupled with his determination to tighten security for our country and ourselves is most admirable. We will do all we can to join his cause." - Margy, FBI Citizens Academy

"I recently worked an event where Frank spoke and was fortunate enough to be able to listen to nearly the entire speech. I was truly moved by his words. In a world where criminality is glorified by Gangster Rap and Mafia/Heist/Criminal movies, it was inspirational to hear the accountability he takes for illegal acts that he committed over 30 years ago. When he said "I have been offered 3 pardons from 3 different standing Presidents and I refused them all because I do not believe that a piece of paper excuses what I did." it made my heart sing." - Jacob
