🇺🇸 [ENG] This Podcast is available in English [ENG].Victor Lustig: The Man Who Sold the Eiffel Tower - This source explores the life and exploits of Victor Lustig, a notorious con artist famous for selling the Eiffel Tower on two separate occasions. The text details his progression from a street-level pickpocket to a sophisticated manipulator who mastered the art of building absolute trust with his victims. Lustig employed a variety of clever schemes, including the "Magic Money Box" and high-stakes deceptions involving figures like Al Capone, leveraging human greed and the shame of his targets to avoid prosecution. His most iconic fraud involved posing as a government official to sell the Eiffel Tower for scrap metal to a wealthy industrialist.
