Summary:
In the early 1900s, Robert Miller, a.k.a. "Count Victor Lustig," moved to Paris hoping to be an artist. A "con" artist, that is. He used his ingenious scams on unsuspecting marks all over the world, from the Czech Republic, to Atlantic ocean liners, and across America.
Tricky
Vic
pulled off his most daring con in 1925, when he managed to "sell" the
Eiffel
Tower
to one of the city's most successful scrap metal dealers! Six weeks later, he tried to sell the
Eiffel
Tower
all over again.
Vic
was never caught. For that particular scam, anyway.
