He was possessed of the Wiz, and dexterity and elegant appearance and soft-to say what laughed at by many. Even the title of "quorum transient seas" to be distributed among the victims of New York and Washington, it has been a month crooks who know history, that crook Czech origin "Victor Lustig - Victor Lustig".

Born "Lustig" in Bohemia in 1890, majoring in the monument in Paris and New York, was the first monument was carried out by "Lustig" process large artfully is he selling fund small, said his clients that "printing money machine", it can copy the $ 100 within 6 hours.

And they convinced greedy at the time, and agreed to pay a large sum of money to buy peer Fund; only to discover later that it prints white papers after running out of dollars percent securities, which placed inside stock. There they can Aflol something, whether Sivhbwa to the police and tell them that they have bought a device fraud and found it does not work, and we want you to punish, which promotes the device, and take us to our right of it ?!

The most famous of its operations were sold for "Eiffel Tower" in 1925 after France's exit from the World War I .. Has he got a great chance after being hit by Paris for extrusion, and the destruction of large parts of this beautiful city in the aftermath of the war, which made the "Eiffel Tower" Ayla to fall, and it was necessary to the existence of alternatives.

Then read "Lustig" published an article in a newspaper, discusses the "Paris" City problems after France's exit from the First World War, including the problem as "Eiffel Tower", the exorbitant costs that Sttklvha working maintenance done, where the needs of millions of Lafrankat; for painted and conduct internal reform processes to him, in order to continue to exist.

But "Lustig" unnoticed did not pass in front of the article, which demonstrated the difficulty of the maintenance process, and that the tower is about to fall, and will need lots and lots of money in a difficult period experienced by this city, and decided to take advantage of it maliciously and subtle in his favor, it was a crook present through its design infernal .

Chicken of the rumor that the tower was about to collapse, taking advantage of this news story, so he impersonates a senior official French government, a representative of the French state-designate to "put the tower in the trash," as he likes to say, and forges a business card, claiming that Deputy Director General Ministry of Post and telegraph.

And he invited six top scrap metal dealers to a secret meeting in the "Crillon Hotel", one of the "Paris" Hotels antique, high-level, taking explain to them the motives of their choice on the basis of good reputations as men do trustees, and then dropped the bomb, and told them that the metal sheets placed on the roof of the tower, developed in preparation for demolition, so it is being offered for sale.

Explain to them that the restoration of the tower operation and maintenance have been unsuccessful, and that the French government has taken a decision to sell the tower secretly; so this news does not cause stir up trouble, and the country continues to suffer the effects of war, which is a golden opportunity for traders metals adults, and it is the person authorized by the government to negotiate on the sale of the tower, and choose a merchant who gonna buy.

Which is sincerity traders, because the value of the historic tower (constructed in 1889, and was transferred in 1909), no parity value at the time as a result of the destruction that has plagued him, he was in very bad condition, and not like the rest of the wonderful French archaeologist at that time .. nor is the audience complained about the man who was tactful, charming, she speaks several languages ​​fluently.

He continued, "Lustig" monument conceded the six traders, Fastijr limousine and accompanied them on an inspection tour of the tower, which he knew every inch of it, and during the tour reached a naive trader who Christtal it, a "Andre Poisson," one of the largest traders, but it is unknown in big circles, and was coveted by the fame, and certainly buy the Eiffel Tower would give him fame, and put it in the fame department.

Then he asked them, "Lustig" During the inspection tour, if I have one of them the enthusiasm to buy the "Eiffel Tower", to submit bids quickly and in full confidentiality of him personally, here expressed "Poisson" his desire to complete the deal in his favor, Vtalibh "Lustig" keep It is a closely guarded secret, until the completion of the deal.

It was always reminds traders who seek to circumvent them and sell them in advance, "tower" as a mere pieces of iron, it was intended to decorate behind the international exhibition, which embraced the French capital in 1889,

Not only did "Lustig" this matter but hinted "Poisson" as an employee corrupt government, and wants to charge a sum of money in bribes in exchange for completion of the transaction, which is what actually happened, so he "Poisson" to pay an exorbitant amount of money for "Lustig"; even possesses the tower no one else buys.

In spite of the uncertainties that Saort his wife in the matter, but he did not listen to her, and was quick to provide his presentation, and pay tens of thousands of dollars, received by "Dan Collins," a US spotter also secretary "Lustig," then disappeared, and left the Monday immediately to "Vienna" , and took the train with a suitcase full of money.

When he discovered "Poisson" he was the victim of a fraud, felt very embarrassed, and preferred to swallow the insult, and not reported to the police for fear of humiliation, scandal, and that he suffered after heart attacks consecutive ruled on his life, so I have not been charged with any charge for "Lustig" because of those incident.

And expose the "Lustig" is repeating the same thing .. After several months back, "Lustig" to Paris, trying to repeat the same process with other dealers, they have re-attempt with six other dealers, and has already succeeded in catching one of them, and get a lot of money from it estimated at the time at 200 one thousand dollars.

But this time I went merchant chosen and informed the police, who failed to arrest him for being able to escape to America, where he chose "Lustig" to go to New York City, for the exercise of its activity there, and after the fraud and the monument he was arrested, and spent in prison in 1947 .

Where he managed the police and US security capture "Lustig" It is wiling in America in 1943, but he escaped from the Federal House in New York, but he was arrested again, and his arrest after 27 days in "Pittsburgh" and sentenced to 20 years in prison, Having accused the judiciary on charges of circumventing many of them to circumvent the sellers of metals in Paris, and was placed in a Missouri prison, which is "Alcatraz prison," the arbitrator, to die by 1947 because of shrinking lungs.

It is funny facts that the author of the book "10 commandments of men fraudsters," one of the most best-selling book, and was told he remained until his death kept in this prison postcard embody the "Eiffel Tower" was written by his hand, "a hundred thousand francs sale of line."
