Yeah, no shit. It was weird believed him.

I think the reason so many people are convinced is that weaving in the story of being pursued by the FBI gives the impression that the stories are confirmed by that agent, when in fact we have only Abignale’s word.

And of course, the stories are really fun, so people want to believe them.

I kinda respect this. Skipped the criminal part and went straight to reformed.

It reminds me of the classic joke:

Did you know that elephants are extremely good at hiding in trees?

>!Well, have you ever seen an elephant hiding in a tree? No? Now you know why!<

The grammar is all wrong. He didn't "lie about his lies". He lied about (some of ) his claims. Lying about a lie is telling the truth.

This is actually interactive art over decades

He did most of what he said

I don't believe it.

He had a pretty good career working in preventing fraud. I guess he decided that he had to beef up his credentials by claiming he was much more successful as a check forger then he actually was.

And then a few years later he will claim it’s actually all true and you’ve been conned into thinking it was all lies

I did, just now. Try to keep up.

These people really thought a con artist had to be honest about the shit they do

Wait I thought all movies had to be real? You're saying this whole thing was fiction? How can this be?

Basically if there was a movie based on this, the sequel is actually a reboot which really highlights the dangers of Orwellian revisionism

You guess? Who the hell has ever said that any animal is a dildo of any forest

So he lied about his lies and had a movie made about his lies starring two of Hollywood's top leading men. How much did he make off the movie? Sounds like a rather successful con.

Yeah, from my perspective he never lied about being a con artist.. and like a true con artist, what we thought was the con wasn't the true con. In the end he gets this movie made about him and we're all going "lol but it's fake"... well... yeah? That just proves he's good at being a con artist!

Tell us something we don't know.

George Santos Sr?

Now do Donald Trump

Con men gonna con.

This popped up on my FB feed and I thought "You have GOT to be kidding!"

Then I clicked on the article.

SMH. Just what was she thinking?

They could not hire a risk manager because they would have pointed out the risk.

So, it's an Etsy product then.
