Antwerp and Amsterdam
What I am curious about is who will buy the uncut diamonds and where will they be cut?
The above places close by but the trade is tightly controlled by DeBeers/oppenheimers and other notable folks. Antwerp has its fair share of crooks and the Jewish community has its black sheep as do the rest of us but would have thought it too obvious.
Are the stones off to India or somewhere similar where there are decent cutters and a big market for sparkly glass?
Back in the 1990s was FO on a BA 75 that flew half a tonne of gold from Toronto to JFK the armoured car which delivered it also followed us out towards the runway...
