About this listen
In 1925, a slick con artist named Victor Lustig convinced Paris’s top scrap metal dealers that the Eiffel Tower was being torn down — and then sold it to them. Not once, but twice. From forged government seals to luxury hotel meetings, Lustig pulled off one of the greatest scams in history and vanished before the ink dried.
Discover how one man outsmarted an entire nation — and why the “sale” of the Eiffel Tower remains one of the boldest cons ever pulled.
🎙️ I’m Brett — and this is Are You Sh!#ing Me? Something I Learned While Avoiding Real Responsibilities.
Cheers!
