Harebrained Schemes

George C. Parker Sold The Brooklyn Bridge Twice A Week For Several Years


Listen Later

Bibi and Sibel had so much fun last episode, they decided to keep the fun going this week by bringing you another story of someone selling monuments they didn't own. Enter, George C. Parker, a con man so prolific, he was at one time known as the greatest conman in America. With exploits almost rivaling last week's Victor Lustig, Bibi and Sibel have a heck of a time taking you back in time to 1800's through early-1900's New York.
