He works for the FBI 24 Unit4 + Thenaked truth + Antonyms and synonyms * Intonation in question tags Frank Abagnale is one of the world’s most famous. impersonators. During his life, he has assumed at least eight separate identities, including an airline pilot, a lawyer, a professor, and a doctor. He was also a brilliant conman who forged $2.5 million worth of cheques across 26 countries over the course of five years. Such was his fame that his adventures have been made into a Stephen Spielberg film and a Broadway musical, both called Catch Me If You Can. ‘Amazingly, Frank’s career as a conman began when he was just 16. Upset at the divorce of his parents, he ran away to New York and, being tall, handsome, and already going grey, he pretended to be 26 and got a job. His first major con was bank fraud. He created a ‘new identity and set up numerous bank accounts. He printed flawless fake cheques and managed to cash ‘them at the banks. However, Frank is most famous for impersonating an airline pilot. He conned Pan Am into giving him a pilot's uniform, and he faked an ID card. He was still only a teenager when he flew over 1,000,000 miles and visited 26 countries enjoying the glamorous lifestyle of an international pilot at Pan Am's expense! Frank also had the nerve to impersonate a paediatrician in a Georgia hospital and nearly caused 4 baby to die through oxygen deprivation. Having the sense to realize he was putting lives at risk, he changed course and became a university professor. He ‘taught sociology and apparently his classes were very popular. By now, the police were on his trail, but he always managed to cover his tracks until eventually he ‘was arrested in France and imprisoned for five years. It is easy to understand how his amazing impersonations and adventures lent themselves to both a movie, starring Leonardo DiCaprio as Frank, and a highly successful Broadway musical. Today, the majority of Frank's work is forthe FBI, preventing fraud rather than committing it! He believes that fraud is too easy. ‘Nowadays’, he says, ‘technology breeds crime’ and ‘prevention is the only feasible course of action’. 2 1 Indirect questions Rewrite these questions using indirect forms. 1 How many identities did he have altogether?
