That's different. According to that page, Abagnale served 5 years in prison (6 months in solitary confinement), and had to work for the feds for a while "without pay". Then when he first got legitimate work, he was usually fired.
I'd be willing to hire someone who cheated and was caught and served time, but not someone who cheated without consequence and boasted about it.
