Sara and Danny are back to talk all about infamous scammer extraordinaire Victor Lustig, the Austro-Hungarian who once sold the Eiffel Tower. They cover his laundry list of scams he ran throughout his life in the early 1900’s, and the numerous victims he left behind in his wake. They also get into the events that left to his eventual downfall, and how his romp through he United States came to an end. To end the show, they play a game testing their skills at sussing out a fake sale, guessing whether certain bizarre items were actually sold on eBay or not.
