Do You Want To Buy The Eiffel Tower?
Have you ever wanted to own the Statue of Liberty? How about the Brooklyn Bridge? The Taj Mahal? The Eiffel Tower? If you had ever run into the cons on our list they'd have sold you any of these and so many other things they didn't actually own. They not only sold these world-recognizable monuments but they also sold them multiple times over, generating a generous amount of wealth for themselves. One of our swindlers was so brazen he bilked Al Capone out of a sizable amount of money. You definitely don't want to miss this episode!
