In 1925, a con man convinced Paris's scrap-metal dealers that the Eiffel Tower was about to be sold for scrap. But the real trick wasn't the tower — it was the silence that came after. This is the story of Victor Lustig, the "count" with 62 aliases, and the three locks he used to make sure his victim would never talk: the Secret, the Bribe, and the Shame. A hundred years later, the same three locks still keep fraud victims quiet.
