The man we are referring to is Victor Lustig, born in 1890 in Hostinné, a small town nestled in the rugged terrain of Bohemia, now part of the Czech Republic.
From an early age, he demonstrated remarkable intelligence, showing an innate ability to grasp complex concepts with ease - a character straight out of a rogue's gallery.
As a young boy, Lustig exhibited a natural aptitude for languages, mastering not only his native Czech but also German, English, and French.
This intellectual prowess set the stage for a life that veered dramatically off the beaten path.
His parents, ordinary and hardworking folk, hoped their son's brilliance would lead to a respectable career… However, the cunning Lustig had other plans.
At the age of 19, while taking a temporary hiatus from his studies in the bustling city of Paris, his life took a dramatic turn.
