He Sold Paris' Most Famous Monument Twice. Here's Why Nobody Noticed

Описание: 🕵️‍♂️ Imagine selling the Eiffel Tower for scrap metal... not once, but twice. In 1925, a master con artist executed the ultimate real-world "hack" that left French officials baffled and a scrap dealer in ruins. 🏗️💸

This investigation dives deep into the incredible story of Victor Lustig, the man who pioneered social engineering tactics that rival the sophistication of modern cybercrime. 🔓 Before digital hacking existed, Lustig exploited the "human firewall," using forged government documents and psychological manipulation to pull off one of the most audacious crimes in history. 📜🧠

We analyze the "source code" of this historical con, breaking down how Lustig identified vulnerabilities in the system—the same psychological exploits used in today's tech scams and phishing attacks. From the luxurious Hôtel de Crillon to the escape routes of Vienna, follow the trail of a man who treated crime as a high-stakes chess game. ♟️🌍

Was it greed, pride, or a perfect storm of political instability that made this scam possible? Join us as we decode the methods of the "Count" who fooled the world. 🧐🔍
