Exposed byPierre Péan
DescriptionA fraudulent scheme purporting to be able to detect oil by a new technology. Details remain rather obscure.

Involved Jean Violet, exposed by Pierre Péan‎. A remarkably audacious (~$150,000,000?[citation needed]) and probably quite successful fraud, that the public state has not shown much interest in pursuing - suggesting that it had at least some degree of deep state support.
