Frank Abagnale Jr. could be the busiest felon of our times. In 1980, he published a memoir. Stephen Spielberg made a movie based on the book called Catch Me If You Can in 2002. Next season he’s been booked for the first-ever Speakers Series at Boston’s Symphony Hall. And a few days ago on April 10, 2011, a musical version of Catch Me If You Can opened on Broadway. Oh Frank, you should have skipped the Broadway gig.
