I've handled some of new York's biggest white collar crimes,

of insider trading and political corruption.

to review financial crimes and TV and movies

to determine what Hollywood gets right and wrong.

of financial crime, not some little old lady

but also the college-educated person who thinks he

or she knows what he's doing when it comes to money.

[TV static buzzing] [upbeat sleuth music]

- [Vinoo] In this scene, young Leo playing Frank Abagnale

- [Frank] I have to earn my wings real soon.

Please get in touch with Joanna Carlton from the 10th grade.

- So a lot of fun facts here about Frank Abagnale.

In 1967, he was able to pass the Louisiana bar exam

[pleasant instrumental music] [water sloshing]

In this scene, he is creating a fake check,

and he does that by using the actual logo

Today, you could do all of this in 15 minutes.

Didn't have to go through the whole rigamarole

that he went through back during the movie

So it's a lot easier today, but of course,

very few people use checks, and therefore, [laughs]

it makes it these checks are scrutinized more

[pleasant instrumental music] [muffled chatter]

to look out for imperfections in a check.

Check fraud is actually monitored by the banks.

They'll see a check, they'll see something off,

and they will actually call the authorities

from there while they're processing these checks.

[TV static buzzing] [intense sleuth music]

In this scene, you see a young John Connor

using an Atari laptop machine to steal money from an ATM.

- [Boy] Will you hurry up? This is taking too long.

- Computers, ATMs, they've gotten more sophisticated.

So in essence, is this accurate from today's standards?

This was something that, back then years ago,

to randomize numbers to figure out the pin.

But today it's unlikely that something like this would work.

- Where'd you learn this stuff from anyway?

- So young John Connor has an accomplice with him.

to hurry up clearly is somebody that, in New York,

would be called acting in concert with him,

- So in 1991 when James Cameron released this movie,

for the cops and the bags to chase somebody

after these people retracing their your steps.
