Just when you think you know the depths of the human ingenuity to commit fraud, another guy comes along and takes the cake. But in the case of Gregor MacGregor, this will never happen as he will forever be the greatest scammer to ever live. He sold a fake country, but at a time where nobody could confidently and quickly verify his claims. Due to his social status, everyone believed him – some sold everything to live there only for disaster to await them.

He must be related to Donald Trump
Does anyone know where I can exchange my DogeCoin into Poyais Dollars?
True power house, love the music. Where tahgogoland?
It's not to late to make it a reality 👀
Can you tell me what's the outro music's name?
This could easily happen in the coming decades with Mars exploration and all these FYRE festivals going on 😀
Google isn’t that reliable.. could definitely get away with some scams of this caliber
Now do Mayer Amschel Rothschild on the mother of all scams, Central Banks.
People are easily fooled still. It’s how Trump got elected
I’m just going to ask “When the passengers arrived and saw the condition of the place, why didn’t they just get back on the boat? Why stay? Did the ship just leave them stranded, even though they probably saw what they were dealing with?”

My friend you have great videos, BUT….… the MORNING BREW crew has highjacked my email account ever since I subscribed. I cannot search for anything without every single one of their emails coming up. They have invisible keywords and it’s been a nightmare. It would be wonderful
If they stopped spamming. I’ve even tried unsubscribing over a dozen times. Plz help 🙏
While nowadays someone would get away selling a country, they do get away selling a lot of other scams.
Not true that this won't happen in modern times. Remember the Fyre festival?
Gregor MacGregor might be one of the scottyish name there is
The federal Reserve is the biggest scam in all of history
You have focused on the negatives. Future awaits.
It was fairly commen to pay for promotions in the british military all the way up to WW1
Its happening right now in occupied Palestine.
I say hell yeah to more videos on historical scams, this stuff is great
0:58 Scotland, you say? Recently there was another scam running about Becoming a Lord in Scotland by buying 1 squarefoot of Scottish land, and people bought in.
But there was a modern-day equivalent of the Nigerian ex-banker who sold a Brazilian bank a non-existent airport in Nigeria.
Video is almost if not entirely AI
will you cover the Adobe saga?
If this guy was born today I bet he'd be into crypto.
I can not feel sympathy for them.
19th century version of fyre festival
❤
East India Company, Ah Shit!
Things haven't changed that much just think of Donald trump
Bro The Fyre party
This has happened so many times in the past it's almost comical.
And in regards to something like that not being possible today; umm Fyre Festival anybody?? Maybe Madoff? Akon City? Oh just to be sure not to leave any money on the table, Fyre Festival 2 which is coming soon allegedly.
2:07 pleas a vedi about the meta glasses and augmented computing 😅❤
Like the updated intro font & graphics
Is this video a hoax? You'd better check before commenting!
think about this before you sign up to go to mars
What an awful person! Can just imagine how devastating it was for the families that went there.
They should turn this into a comedy
13:00 "…. a scam like this would not be possible again….." cough NFT cough
The man who sold the country.
He seriously took "fake it till you make it" to an entirely new level.

Interesting story, never heard of it before.
Keep it up with great work bringing us videos like this 🤟🤟😍
5:40 "with dollar signs in their eyes the british public" you sure about that? 😀
