George C. Parker (March 16, 1860 – 1936) was an American con man best known for his repeated successes "selling" the Brooklyn Bridge. He made his living conducting illegal sales of property he did not own, often New York's public landmarks, to unwary immigrants. The Brooklyn Bridge was the subject of several of his transactions, predicated on the notion of the buyer controlling access to the bridge. Police removed several of his victims from the bridge as they tried to erect toll booths.

rdfs:comment	George C. Parker (* 1870; † 1936) war ein US-amerikanischer Betrüger und Fälscher. Wegen seiner Vorgehensweise gilt er bis heute als einer der unverfrorensten Gauner in der Geschichte der Vereinigten Staaten. Er bestritt seinen Lebensunterhalt mit dem „Verkauf“ von New Yorker Sehenswürdigkeiten an unvorsichtige und naive Touristen oder Immigranten. Sein Lieblingsobjekt war die eindrucksvolle Brooklyn Bridge, die er über Jahre hinweg etwa zweimal pro Woche verkaufte. Er überzeugte seine „Klienten“, dass sie mit dem Brückenzoll ein Vermögen machen könnten. Mehr als einmal musste die Polizei eingreifen, als neue „Besitzer“ auf der Brücke Mautstationen zu errichten versuchten. (de) George C.

Hij verdiende zijn brood met de illegale verkoop van eigendommen die hij niet bezat. Vaak ging het om de openbare monumenten van New York die hij verkocht aan onoplettende immigranten. De Brooklyn Bridge was het onderwerp van verschillende van zijn transacties, waarbij hij telkens het gebruiksrecht ervan verkocht. De politie verwijderde verschillende van zijn slachtoffers van de brug terwijl ze tolhuisjes probeerden te plaatsen. (nl)
