Description
One of the most audacious scams in history took place in the early 19th century in Britain.
A man sold thousands of people a dream of land in the New World. His claims attracted large investments, encouraged hundreds of people to move around the world, and even suckered in members of the royal family.
However, his promises were empty, and in the end, shiploads of people were stranded in the middle of nowhere, and many people lost their life savings.
