... and the prize for the strangest suspicious death goes to this story from 8ch.
JTA — A billionaire Jewish diamond trader has died during a penis enlargement operation.
Ehud Arye Laniado had a heart attack after an unnamed substance was injected into his penis during the procedure Saturday at a private clinic in France, according to reports. Laniado, a Belgian Israeli, was 65.
He owned Omega Diamonds based in Antwerp and Mercury Diamond, a diamond pricing consultancy, and had been in the diamond business for 40 years.
In 2015, Laniado sold the world’s most expensive diamond, called the Blue Moon of Josephine, to Joseph Lau Luen Hung, a Hong Kong businessman and a convicted felon, for $48.4 million.
Omega Diamonds confirmed its owner and founder’s death in a statement.
“Farewell to a visionary businessman,” the statement said. “It is with great sadness that we confirm that our founder Ehud Arye Laniado has passed away. After living an exceptional life Ehud will be brought back home to Israel as his final resting place. He will be dearly missed by us all.”
Laniado was expected to appear in court in Belgium on March 14 to face tax evasion charges.
He reportedly entered the workforce as a masseuse working at the Hilton Hotel in Tel Aviv.
If this is a cover story, absolutely brilliant.
YOU JUST CAN’T MAKE THIS STUFF UP...
Maybe this diamond trader was already dying of something and just wanted to impress people in his open casket.
He must have massaged some pretty important carbon atoms to end up owning the Diamond business.
Agree with your, “if that is the cover story it is brilliant.” It is impressive and original. Beats the hell out of the “cancer” standby others used. I expect there will be more red cord hangings, maybe some bridge jumping, a plane crash or two and of maybe even the odd “fell asleep on the train track.”
““Farewell to a visionary businessman,” the statement said.”
So much for that last visionary idea. Should have kept his vision on business. Weird indeed.
