In the 1925 scam, Lustig singled out a man named André Poisson. Poisson was an ambitious man, but also somewhat insecure and eager to be accepted into the inner circle of Parisian high society. Lustig identified him as the perfect mark. As he was finalizing the deal with Poisson, Lustig began to act hesitant. He expressed concern, not about the deal itself, but about his own position. He confessed that his official government salary was not enough to maintain the lifestyle he was expected to live, and that he was struggling to make ends meet. He was essentially hinting that he needed a bribe. This was the pivotal moment. Poisson, who had been a bit wary of the deal, now was confirmed Lustig was really a government official.

Quite funny that ”Lustig” means ”someone that is funny” in Swedish 🤣

Funny guy, literally, his last name is funny guy.
