The Brilliant Con of Cassie Chadwick

Join author William Hazelgrove as he shares the story of Cassie Chadwick and one of the greatest cons in American history. Chadwick conned at least 2 million dollars, equivalent to about 60 million today, simply by claiming to be the illegitimate daughter and heir of steel titan, Andrew Carnegie. Playing to their greed, she was able to convince highly educated financiers to loan hundreds of thousands of dollars, on nothing more than rumor and her word. Chadwick was front page news, eclipsing even President Roosevelt's inauguration.
