I thought it was P.T. Barnum, but check out the story at History Buff:

The same P.T. Barnum, of Barnum & Bailey Circus fame, did say, "Every crowd has a silver lining."

by the way, this story is a hoax. there wasn't such a scam. or i should say is that the scam is in how every major news service picked it up and ran with it without any verification.

'tis sad to watch the 4th Estate crumble. they used to report the truth and the news, now they go for ratings at the expense of truth.
