We move from crooks in 18th century France to the father of all 20th century American godfathers. Rothstein was the first premiere, but many followed... who's your favourite mobster?

[Ihrgoth]

Give your cat a treat for being so well behaved while photobombing the video.

I still think Philippe Pétain is perfect for this series, having both a number of good and not so very good things he has done.

[FroxyCz]

L for Victor Lustig: probably the greatest con artist ever. This is the guy who managed to sell the fucing Eifell tower. Twice! :D He did a lot of stuff in his life. All of them really ballsy.

Well, if nobody else nominated Kenesaw Mountain Landis I will! We both know the History and you apparently have the research already, so there’s that!

I recommend doing an episode on King Leopold II of Belgium. Under his rule, numerous atrocities were committed in the Congo, earning the name "the Congo Horrors".

[alberto-gjoi]

So Rothstein is still alive.. apparently hosting the youtube channel TimeGhost History!..uncanny resemblance..
