🇫🇷A finales del siglo XIX, París vivía una época de esplendor burqués, en la que la fe en el crédito era ciega. En ese contexto, una mujer de provincias, con modales refinados y muy persuasiva, fue capaz de poner de rodillas al sistema financiero francés. Thérèse Humbert, con la promesa de una inexistente herencia millonaria, mantuvo en vilo durante dos décadas a banqueros, jueces y políticos. 

💶Su fraude, sostenido con documentos falsos y teatro social, no solo fue capaz de vaciar bolsillos, sino que desnudó la fragilidad de un sistema económico basado en la confianza. Esta es la historia de un gran engaño, de la mayor estafa de la historia de Francia, que sacudió a la Tercera República y que anticipó los fraudes financieros modernos.
