    Frank Abagnale (Catch Me If You Can) on Johnny Carson

    Ran across this looking at something else on YT. Abagnale was played by Leonardo DiCaprio many years later after this video. Abignale telling a lot of stories about his cons.

    We had a guy that grew up in our town and worked in different youth groups just like this guy. We always remarked to ourselves that he could have been this guys twin and together they could have really done way more damage. Derrick, the guy we know, was the most charming guy and had incredible charisma. We knew him all too well tho. Every time another youth minister or pastor came to our church he would swoop in again under the disquise of being "mentored". It was unbelievable how many times that he stole money from the church, had an affair with a young teen girl, someone always thought he was the greatest guy. He lived with an older well to do lady in our church and her family discovered after she passed that he had taken her for a cleaning. They all seem surprised. Noone ever seemed to be concerned that he had fathered a child that he never paid child support or had any visitation rights. Youth ministers said we needed to "Forgive".
    We ended up not allowing our daughter to go on youth trips and camp just because they kept allowing him to go with the students even into his mid to late 20's under the pretense of him being a " boy sponsor". UGH!!! It's sickening. His younger brother was almost as bad. We were actually ostracized because we were not a fan of his. There are several families that were hurt in the mess but I wasn't willing to risk my daughter.
