Victor Lustig was known for being a crook. He fled to Paris having swindled Al Capone. 

When he heard that maintaining the Eiffel Tower was proving too costly for the Paris authorities, he called a top-secret meeting with the city’s five largest scrap metal dealers. What was the Eiffel Tower, after all, but a huge pile of scrap metal? Hoping to be awarded the Legion of Honour, one of the scrap dealers got out his chequebook.
