A Greek jeweller was left empty-handed and red-faced after selling over €6 million ($7.5 million) worth of jewels to two con men who paid him with a suitcase full of Monopoly money.

A jeweller who thought he’d found a way to avoid the tax man on a €6 million sale, instead painfully learned the meaning of “Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.”
