And the extended(Read more ›) version of an Amazon book review;

The Land That Never Was: Sir Gregor Macgregor and the Most Audacious Fraud in History
http://www.amazon.com/The-Land-That-Never-Was/dp/0306814110

When we rejoin the settlers, or at least the ones who managed to make it home with their lives, what I found the most amazing portion of the book begins. Apparently MacGregor’s personal charisma was so persuasive that he managed to persuade many of his followers, and others as well, that he was not the perpetrator but the victim in this scheme. He had simply placed his trust in the wrong subordinates, and given the opportunity, everything could be straightened out.

MacGregor always seemed to stay one step ahead of the truth, and the law, until the latter caught up with him at his next stop, Paris, where he tried to stir fresh interest in Poyais. He was imprisoned and brought to trial, but leading the charmed life that he was, he was soon back in London, still working to entice people to put money into the land that didn’t exist.
