Features: Frank W. Abanville's parents separated when he was young, and he lived with his father. His busy father neglected his upbringing, and he learned how to charm women at a very young age. Due to his lack of money, he began engaging in credit card fraud and soon became addicted to it, starting his career as a professional con artist. He posed as a pilot, a pediatrician, a lawyer, and more, defrauding hundreds of millions of dollars in US dollars through various means. Before the age of 21, his criminal record had spread across the United States and many other countries, making him a wanted fugitive in the U.S. and other countries. The author narrates his fraudulent activities in a factual style, with vivid and entertaining descriptions that are both amusing and reveal issues in American society, such as the challenges single-parent families face in raising children and the lack of strict regulations in various social institutions that allow criminals to exploit loopholes. What is comforting is that the author ultimately turned away from his past and reformed. After working for nearly 30 years in the Financial Crimes Division of the FBI, he is now a respected expert in securities and anti-fraud.
