one of most famous cases would be Frank Abagnale, but he was hired for his criminal skills after serving a total of 7 years in prison in 3 different countries. Nazi scientist on the other hand...

Not just scientists. Klaus Barbie worked for the CIA and for the government of Bolivia until 1983. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klaus_Barbie

Isn't there a movie about him? Barbieheimer or something but I might be wrong

Frank Abignale never worked for the government in any capacity.

He did go to banks and offer to educate them on check fraud, and lied about his credentials in doing so.

He was also caught stealing cameras at a children's summer camp. Fun little tidbit for ya.
