About this listen

 In 1872, two prospectors claimed they had discovered a massive diamond field in the American West—a find so dazzling it lured the wealthiest investors in the country. But the glittering diamonds were a lie, and the entire mine was a masterfully orchestrated scam. Join Sloppers AI's very own Jack Steals on The Most Incredible Cons in History as he unpacks the audacity, artistry, and chaos behind the Great Diamond Hoax, a con so bold it still dazzles historians today. But things aren’t always as they seem.
