Go fuck yourselves.
Con men thread! This is the place to discuss our favorite sneaky son's-of-bitches.
We are fascinated by them, because they have the confidence to do what we could only dream of. They owe all their success to their charisma.
The most (in)famous:
Frank Abagnale. Subject of the 2002 movie, Catch Me With You Can
This dude was raw. He looked much older than he actually was, and did much, much more than steal money. During his criminal career he impersonated:
-Teacher
-Pilot
-Doctor
-Lawyer
Maybe you're thinking, I like my men fictional, studly, and teamed up with 10 more outrageous and wacky people.
Alternatively (originally)
Now, this part of the post, probably belongs in the "What is the Best movie ever" thread, because this shit is rocking. Good tunes, the bad guy wins, and the snooty rich dude gets hosed.
Some of these men, were so good, the goddamned internet is having troubles with them.
Let us talk about these smooth talking badasses.

I'm fascinated by hoaxes
I just read an article about Piltdown Man
Apparently English anthropologists were so eager to have racial supremacy that they were willing to believe the original man had a modern skull and the jaw of a orangutan

Except in Prison Break, or that Seth Green movie about camping.
Awww yeah.
... pluto?
He is so cool. It is like the classic coming to America story with a twist.
Came to America with only a couple bucks, then abused the shit out of a minor flaw in the postal system.

D.B. Cooper, I think.
the picture of cooper's likeness is everywhere in his classroom
Yep
there was also a dude named Richard McCoy who pulled the same kind of thing a few years later, except they caught him
but many believe that Cooper and McCoy are the same man
Or rather, were the same man
McCoy died in 1974 in a shootout with the FBI
All the actors are choice in it.
Two little mice fell in a bucket of cream..
How are you liking this new thread so far?
Does it have enough classy criminals?
Haha, I just read up on this dude. Largest investment fraud for a single person, damn.
If they ever convict that guy his punishment should be exile to an island with a rudimentary shelter and access to only 1,500-2,000 calories a day and that's it. Let him live the rest of his life in poverty.
Also mentioned in Newsradio.
I think the story line was that Jimmy James was really DB Cooper or some nonsense.
I didn't really pay attention due to a significant lack of Phil Hartman
Coran Attack!
Fuck that, I'd make him work for minimum wage in a dirty ass kitchen somewhere and have to survive only on that income and whatever he can sell his blood for.
