    Apparently, Victor Lustig is known as the "man who sold the Eiffel Tower." Ponzi has a whole scheme named after him. Abagnale got a movie. Seems like being bad is one way to get a good rep in the history books.

    I do love that this person is named Fab though. Fah-bu-lous.

    You have to give this guy points. Watching the movie about him kind of made me want to be a con artist. Or a flight attendant. Too bad I'm deathly afraid of small spaces and heights.
