This Man Sold the Eiffel Tower Twice – Here's How He Did It!

The Eiffel Tower is a symbol of Paris and an architectural marvel. However, in the 1920s, it became the target of one of the most audacious scams in history, masterminded by Victor Lustig, a con artist who sold the tower not once, but twice.

 The Bold Plan

After World War I, Paris faced financial hardships, and rumors swirled about the Eiffel Tower's high maintenance costs. Victor Lustig, a cunning and charismatic con artist, saw this as the perfect backdrop for his con. He posed as a government official and convinced a group of scrap metal dealers that the tower was to be sold off.

Lustig's persuasive charm and forged documents led André Poisson, an eager dealer, to believe in the legitimacy of the sale. Poisson handed over a large sum, only to realize later that he had been scammed. Lustig, meanwhile, disappeared with the money, and Poisson, too embarrassed to go public, chose not to report the crime.

 The Second Attempt

Lustig, emboldened by his success, returned to Paris to repeat his con. This time, his potential victims grew suspicious and alerted the police. Lustig managed to flee before being caught, solidifying his reputation as a master con artist.

For a detailed exploration of Lustig’s scam, you can watch this engaging YouTube video.

Et c’est parti pour mon expo solo dans l’appartement de Georges Clemeneau, laissé inchangé depuis sa mort en 1929!!

Vous pouvez visiter le Musée Clemenceau au 8 rue Benjamin Franklin à Paris 16 (métro Passy ou Trocadéro) du mardi au samedi de 14h à 17h30, et y chasser les dizaines de pièces que j’ai disséminé dans son appartement!

Bonne chasse!
