E72: Victor Lustig
Episode description
Hey everyone. This week, Michael dazzles Chris and James with the totally outrageous story of conman Victor Lustig. During the early 20th century, Victor scammed and schemed his way across Europe and North America, ripping off gamblers and bejewelled women. He even managed to “sell” the Eiffel Tower to one very unlucky mark. And he did it all dressed in elegant suits and wearing a waxed moustache. Enjoy!
