The male suspect, who was wielding a gun, targeted the victim in Brooklyn, New York on Monday afternoon

He stole a satchel from the victim that contained six packets of diamonds worth $200,000 and a 50-ounce package of gold dust, which is worth $95,000

It wasn't immediately clear if the victim was a jewel merchant

The victim told police the gun-wielding robber jumped into the passenger seat of his car before binding his feet and hands

The robber then sprayed what was believed to be pepper spray in the man's face before fleeing the scene

I would rather have 1/4 of the gold dust than all of the diamonds.

I have always wanted to lost wax cast something

p.s. the movie "Uncut Gems" is difficult to watch

See!

More evidence of Democrat inflation.

A Big Mac used to cost just five bags of diamonds.

I melted down my class ring and made another ring. When I showed it to a jeweler friend, he said, “I’m sure you are really proud of it.” I think he meant it was not as good as I thought it was. LOL!

Why would you bind the victim up? Just grab the loot and run. Sounds like a setup to me.

I can’t imagine some carrying that much value and being so careless.

Something is not right with this story.

Carrying bags or briefcases full of valuables is very common among Jewish gem dealers and gold merchants. This makes them easy marks, but inside jobs are not uncommon. It’s the diamond merchants’ version of “Jewish lightning.”
