Victor Lustig was born January 4, 1890 in present day Czech Republic.
A skilled con-man, he was infamous for being “the man who sold the Eiffel Tower – twice”!
He also invented the “Rumanian Box” scam – a.k.a., the Money Box.
Lustig would approach his target with a ‘machine’ he claimed could duplicate any currency placed inside it.
The ‘machine’ was a specially designed mahogany box with two small slots and a number of levers and mechanisms that had to be carefully manipulated, to produce the duplicate currency.
To convince the person his Money Box truly worked, Lustig asked them for a $100 bill.
He would insert the bill into his device and explain it would take 6 hours to create the copy.
When 6 hours passed … Lustig would reach into the machine and produce a perfect ‘counterfeit’ bill (which was in fact, a real $100 bill he had pre-loaded)!
Lustig would then accompany the individual to a local bank to authenticate the note.
Once the person was whipped into a frenzy (thinking they’d struck it rich) … Lustig would sell them the box for thousands of dollars.
Before delivering the machine, Lustig would pack the Money Box with 4 real $100 bills … providing him with 24 hours to get out of town – before his victim realized they had been swindled!
