This week, the lads welcome back the brilliant Dr Andrew Mackillop to tell the story of the most audacious scam in Scotland's history. It takes quite a lot to just make up a country, name yourself ruler and then sell land rights to that imaginary place. Well, that's just the start of the story of a man named Gregor McGregor. Now, that said, there is a video Neil plays Dave that will forever haunt his nightmares in Part 1. The man gives with one hand and takes with the other.

Anna berättar om Gregor McGregor (ett namn), en otroligt märklig bedragare som fick först ett gott gäng britter att flytta till hans hittepåland och sen ett gott gäng fransmän. Trots att han tog alla pengar han kom över tyckte alla att han var toppen. Karin berättar om familjen Marie-France, Yves, Camille och Marius Godard. Pappa Yves och barnen försvann under mystiska omständigheter på en segelbåt i Frankrike 1999. Mamma Marie var dock spårlöst försvunnen redan innan övriga familjemedlemmar hade hunnit sätta segel.

Send us a Text Message.Gregor MacGregor was a Scottish soldier, adventurer, and con man who invented a Central American country called “Poyais,” in 1820 which he claimed to rule as the “Cazique.” MacGregor attempted to draw British and French investors and settlers to his fictional country. Hundreds invested in Poyaisian government bonds and land certificates, while about 250 emigrated to MacGregor's invented country. MacGregor's Poyais scheme has been called one of the most brazen confidence tricks in history.Patrick's Books:Statistics For The Trading Floor:  https://amzn.to/3eerLA0Derivatives For The Trading Floor:  https://amzn.to/3cjsyPFCorporate Finance:  https://amzn.to/3fn3rvCPatreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/PatrickBoyleOnFinanceBuy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/patrickboyleVisit our website: www.onfinance.orgFollow Patrick on Twitter Here: https://twitter.com/PatrickEBoylePatrick Boyle on YouTubeThe Land That Never Was By David Sinclair: https://amzn.to/4eVC3ED Support the Show.

(NOTAS Y ENLACES DEL CAPÍTULO AQUÍ: https://www.jaimerodriguezdesantiago.com/kaizen/164-marta-fernandez-confesiones-embarazosas-mentiras-valientes-y-un-texto-erotico-casi-mortal/)La entrevista de esta semana es seguramente diferente a la mayoría de las que he hecho hasta ahora. Por distintos motivos, además.El primero es que esta grabación fue una especie de experimento porque tenía muchas ganas de retomar las entrevistas presenciales, porque creo que se genera una química especial. Aunque, dado que ahora en mi casa manda una pequeña dictadora, que no respeta mucho los horarios ni los silencios necesarios para grabar un podcast, hacerlo era un poco reto. Así, confieso que le eché un poco de morro y pregunté en twitter si alguien me dejaría un espacio para grabar y resulta que la gente es maravillosa. Me ofrecieron como 10 o 12 sitios en Madrid y algunos más fuera. Muchas gracias desde aquí a todos y, en especial a mi admirado José Luis Antúnez, porque a través de él surgió la posibilidad de grabar donde acabamos haciéndolo: en el Instituto Tramontana, uno de los lugares más especiales que conozco. Allí se respira el gusto por el diseño y la comunicación en cada rincón. Así que para allá me fui yo con la grabadora, los micros, trípodes y un par de móviles; porque el experimento consistía también en grabarlo en vídeo. Y creo que ha quedado inesperadamente bien para ser la primera vez que lo hacía así. Si te animas a verlo en YouTube ya me contarás. Pero esta entrevista es diferente también por otra razón. Por lo general, cuando invito a alguien al podcast tengo bastante claro por qué lo hago y de qué quiero que charlemos. En esta ocasión, sin embargo, de lo único de lo que estaba seguro era de que me apetecía hablar con mi invitada, aunque no sabía muy bien sobre qué. Si no sabía cómo abordar la conversación fue, en parte, por una anécdota muy tonta que le cuento al principio de nuestra charla y que no te voy a desvelar aún. Pero, sobre todo, el motivo por el que no tenía claro cómo enfocar la charla era que Marta Fernández no es fácilmente clasificable. Porque la primera tentación es, sin duda, hablar con ella de su experiencia en los medios. ¿O no querrías tú hacerle preguntas a una persona que ha estado más de 20 años trabajando en algunos de los principales informativos de España? Marta fue la cara visible de los informativos de CNN+, Cuatro y Telecinco y tuvo que dar noticias de todo tipo, incluídos algunos momentos fundamentales de nuestra historia moderna, como los atentados del 11S, y otros que son fundamentales para mí y cuatro más, como la demanda que las empresas de autobús puso a BlaBlacar. Por dar, Marta llegó a dar hasta unas campanadas de fin de año. Y, sin embargo, por apasionante que pueda ser ese mundo periodístico y televisivo, creo que la Marta más interesante no es esa. Porque hay otra. O, mejor dicho, hay otras muchas. Detrás de quien nos contaba las noticias estaba, para empezar, una escritora. Alguien que necesita escribir para ser ella misma y que lo ha hecho en libros y en artículos de los que se desprende un enorme amor por la literatura, el cine, la música y el arte, en general. Su último libro, además, se titula La mentira y lo ha dedicado a historias de grandes mentirosos y embaucadores. Entre otros, curiosamente, aquel Gregor McGregor del que te hablé en el capítulo 152, en la que es una de mis historias de timos e irracionalidad colectiva favorita. En el mundo de las mentiras, de los cobardes, de la escritura, de los medios, de nuestros recuerdos de adolescencia y en otras muchas cosas nos sumergimos en nuestra charla. Incluso, a lo largo de la conversación con Marta yo hago un par de confesiones un poco embarazosas, que quise mantener en secreto para ella hasta que habláramos, para ver cómo reaccionaba durante la entrevista y de las que nos reímos juntos. Ahora, dicho todo esto, vamos a lo importante de verdad: espero que disfrutes mucho de esta conversación con Marta Fernández.

*Note from Greg: The audio quality in this episode isn't great; the original sound files became corrupted during the editing process and I had to rebuild them - hence a lot of changes in quality and "pops". Apologies! We're working on a better version. In the meantime, enjoy a rough cut! In Episode 4 we take a ride with swindler Gregor McGregor all the way to the beautiful tropical country of Poyais. You'll hear all about investment bubbles, South American political movements, the tried and true military strategy of running quickly away from the enemy, and how a Scottish con man convinced thousands of people to sink their life savings into shares of an imaginary paradise.
