No, no need to spell it out any clearer. You made my point.
Mr. Abagnale is an expert in and on the finacial institusions and fraud,
who (in return for a reduced sentence) provided that immense knowledge
to the industry and has even worked towards getting the industry to
adopt meathods to reduce fraud by designing systems that (we hope) he
himself cannot beat.

The other is a virus writer who used a flaw developed by someone else,
and propagated by a meathod that has been used countless times before,
and really introduced nothing new.
