He Sold the Eiffel Tower, Then Conned Al Capone

Victor Lustig sold the Eiffel Tower for scrap (and came back to try it again), conned Al Capone with nothing but honesty, flooded America with fake $100 bills and walked out of a federal jail dressed as a window cleaner. The true story of history's greatest con man, and the one idea behind every con he ran: people get fooled by whoever makes them feel smart. 3D asset credits: "Cigar" by Poly by Google, CC-BY 3.0 via Poly Pizza (https://poly.pizza/m/cT7awduBbgn) "Gavel" by Poly by Google, CC-BY 3.0 via Poly Pizza (https://poly.pizza/m/6yKiq1_NH5K) Chandelier by jeremy (https://poly.pizza/m/bXveeuhkcZY), CC-BY 3.0 Lamp post by Poly by Google (https://poly.pizza/m/ez9fM9NvtRB), CC-BY 3.0 Gramophone by Don Carson (https://poly.pizza/m/9MZ0sCt1REv), CC-BY 3.0 Box of Movable Types by Bruno Oliveira (https://poly.pizza/m/52Rg1KfSpiK), CC-BY 3.0 Phone by Poly by Google (https://poly.pizza/m/esa-gfuZgup), CC-BY 3.0 Simple Suitcase by Don Carson (https://poly.pizza/m/023W-XcCmir), CC-BY 3.0 Typewriter by Bruno Oliveira (https://poly.pizza/m/4jHNmeamwP8), CC-BY 3.0 SM - EIffel Tower by Scott Marshall [CC-BY] via Poly Pizza (https://poly.pizza/m/aIpJchqtRTg) Lighthouse by Poly by Google (https://poly.pizza/m/7H8is9jrGeB), CC-BY 3.0 Steam Train by Jarlan Perez (https://poly.pizza/m/8si3z2CBUuc), CC-BY 3.0 Old Car by Attila Dobák (https://poly.pizza/m/3knnxGlixiJ), CC-BY 3.0 Free CC0 3D assets by Creatorize (built on Quaternius UAL mocap), Kay Lousberg (KayKit); retargeted by Creatorize, Quaternius, Kenney (kenney.nl), Kay Lousberg (KayKit), CreativeTrio, ambientCG (Lennart Demes), Greg Zaal, Jarod Guest (Poly Haven), Greg Zaal (Poly Haven), Jarod Guest, Sergej Majboroda (Poly Haven), Elbolilloduro.
