Logan even tracked down an interview between investigative journalist Ira Perry and Pan Am spokesperson Bruce Haxthausen from 1978 in which Perry asked about the company’s financial losses during the years Abagnale claimed to have been posing as a pilot — to shocking results.
“I’ve checked with the security people and everyone here, and it never happened,” said Haxthausen. “This is the first time we’ve heard of this, and we would have heard or at least remembered it if it happened. You don’t forget $2.5 million bad checks.”
Haxthausen continued, “I’d say this guy is as phony as a $3 bill.”
