  • #636 | Victor Lustig: The Man Who Sold the Eiffel Tower

    #636 | Victor Lustig: The Man Who Sold the Eiffel Tower
    Oct 8 2026


    In 1925, Victor Lustig convinced a Paris scrap-metal dealer that the French government was selling the Eiffel Tower.


    His secret was a mixture of official papers, careful acting, and victims too embarrassed to report him.


    He later returned to Paris and tried to sell it again.


    • Victor Lustig reads that Paris may dismantle the rusting Eiffel Tower
    • Born in Bohemia, Lustig learns languages, gambles and develops his skill at deception
    • On Atlantic liners, he persuades wealthy passengers to invest in imaginary projects
    • In America, he sells a fake money-printing box containing hidden real banknotes
    • A Texas sheriff confronts Lustig, then receives counterfeit money as compensation
    • Lustig uses forged ministry letters to invite scrap metal dealers to his hotel
    • André Poisson buys the Eiffel Tower and pays Lustig a bribe
    • Poisson stays silent from shame, so Lustig returns to attempt the scam again
    • Lustig tricks Al Capone into paying him for returning an untouched investment
    • Police arrest Lustig for counterfeiting; after escaping, he is recaptured and imprisoned

    In 1961, psychologist Stanley Milgram tested how far ordinary Americans would go when an authority figure told them to hurt someone.

    • Stanley Milgram studies obedience to authority at Yale
    • Volunteers deceived with teacher and learner roles
    • Shock machine with rising volts and scripted learner reactions

    • Sixty-five per cent gave the maximum 450-volt shock
    • Variations test authority setting proximity and peer dissent
    • Factors include authority distance and gradual escalation
    • Ethical debates and belief in real shocks
    • 2009 replication and the agentic state concept
