Egregious Conman Gregor MacGregor - Episode 7

  • Summary

  • They say you can’t run away from your lies. There once was a man who certainly tried, and he tried so hard that he built a hill of lies he could die on.

    This is the story of Gregor MacGregor, a Scottish soldier, general, and thrifter who jumped from one impossible situation to another in 18th-century Europe and the Caribbean. Once he found out lies could get him ahead, he tried to go all the way. MacGregor might have been the biggest conman the world had ever seen. Just us to find out more!
