******************************** The Con Man in 'Catch Me If You Can' Is Now Out Chasing High-Tech Fraudsters http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/index.cfm?fa=viewfeature&id=1677 In one sense, Frank Abagnale Jr. might seem an odd choice as a featured speaker at a cutting-edge, computer-ruled event like the Wharton Technology Conference 2007. That's not just because Abagnale -- the subject of the 2002 Steven Spielberg movie "Catch Me If You Can" -- was one of the most notorious con men of the 20th century, but also because his technique was so decidedly low-tech. But that was, in fact, part of Abagnale's message: Vigilance against fraudsters and con artists, he said, should be even more of a priority now than it was then, because Abagnale's 1960s schemes were harder work.
