Countless capitalists have been cheated into bankruptcy. Who is the cleverest liar in history?

Countless bourgeoisie were cheated into bankruptcy. The cleverest liar in history is a man named Gregell. This matter is related to the economic environment of19th century. At that time, shortly after the end of the British industrial revolution, the economic development situation was very good and the people's living standards were greatly improved. Many capitalists aim at this opportunity, hoping to find some investment projects and make a fortune. At that time, the most reliable investment was to buy government bonds. However, at that time, the profits of British bonds were so low that these capitalists simply dismissed them. On the contrary, Latin America was found to have great potential, which greatly attracted the interest of these British capitalists. Gregell used this opportunity to forge a name? Poyas? Countries, and began to sell a lot of bonds to these British capitalists.

Gregell made a lot of efforts to arrange his own scam. In order to implement the bond smoothly, he also asked newspapers from all over the world to help him carry out publicity, and the publicity effect was very good. In the newspaper, he said that the bond interest rate here is not only twice that of Britain, but also that people don't have to pay taxes. He also said that the country is rich in natural resources, and he even introduced the resettlement plan in detail in the newspaper. Moreover, in order to further realize his goal, he also published a travel guide about Poyas, which made more and more British people believe in the existence of Poyas. As a result, Gregell successfully sold bonds worth hundreds of thousands of pounds.

After cheating a large sum of money in England, Gregell came up with the Scottish idea. But this time he was not so smooth. He moved first? Poyas? When the British people found out that they had been cheated, they exposed his scam. In fact, if Gregell could have started a new life in other countries after making a lot of money, why did he lie to others to make it up? Poyas? What about this country?

Actually, the reason is very simple. Gregell himself really wants to establish a country in Latin America, because he served in the British and Venezuelan armies in the past. So he took it for granted that he had enough ability to command a country, and even designed a national flag and national system for Poyas. However, after his scam was exposed, more and more debt collectors came to him. He had no choice but to hide in other countries and finally died in Caracas in 1845.
