| Exposed by | Pierre Péan |
| Description | A 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.
