He didn't write an autobiography. His biography had some glaring errors (people like Bill Gates are directly quoted as saying things with basic tech mistakes they couldn't have said) and of course he died before it was finished, so he couldn't have reviewed it.

Your reply seems to mistake the subject "he" for Jobs but in fact Abagnale is the subject there. G-GP suggests that (unlike Jobs) Abagnale output nothing and GP refutes that claim suggesting that Abagnale's autobiography and film are works that we can credit to him.

Thanks I wasnt getting it either

I agree. Abagnale never outputted anything for the public, but he has outputted tremendous good for himself at the expense of others. Him and Jobs both achieved feats that no average man could have achieved.

Abgnale outputted a story. I’ll grant that.

Point of my comment is people also accuse Jobs of outputting only a story. But it’s ludicrous to believe all the rest of the stuff is just coincidence that happens to surround Jobs, again and again and again.

since when is a movie supposed to be accurate?

I don't see how that is relevant. Whether it's accurate or not doesn't matter for it be something of value.
