Reading it reminds me of Mr. Abagnale, and the movie “Catch Me If You Can”...

Catch Me If You Can is a 2002 American biographical crime film directed and co-produced by Steven Spielberg from a screenplay by Jeff Nathanson. The film is based on the life of Frank Abagnale, who, before his 19th birthday, successfully performed cons worth millions of dollars by posing as a Pan American World Airways pilot, a Georgia doctor and a Louisiana parish prosecutor. His primary crime was check fraud; he became so experienced that the FBI eventually turned to him for help in catching other checking forgers. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks, with Christopher Walken, Martin Sheen, and Nathalie Baye in supporting roles.

That’s the reason I posted it - it wasn’t the usual depressing run-of-the-mill crime committed by a borderline moron where the only surprise is that he wasn’t arrested fleeing the scene of the crime that he so unmemorably screwed up beyond all recognition like all the other semi-retards before him. She is seriously bright. With the right educational background, she could be a rainmaker at some investment boutique. Heck, she’d put most of the credentialed snobs, with pedigrees the length of your arm, in the shade.

Yes! A cross between Holly Golightly and Frank Abagnale.

Someone is planning on the movie rights....
