Eiffel Tower For Sale (Again)
from The Paranoia Pair Hosted by Anna and Jessica
He was charming, smart and full of lies. Victor Lustig was a con artist who didn't know how to rest. From selling Rumanian boxes, scamming a bank out of thousands of dollars to selling the Eiffel Tower... TWICE. In this episode we walk through the crimes, charm, and my favorite part, the petty downfall of Victor Lustig.
