As long as diamonds retain their value, there will be a black market for it. And that means suffering and death in Africa.

The business fuels organized crime around the world. The diamond dealer busted in NYC last week for financing the sale of shoulder held missiles to take down U.S. aircraft is just one very small example.

So you have decided that the old man in NY (who has been granted bail) is part of "organized crime all over the world." You never miss an opportunity assign collective blame.

This was an illegal money-changing operation and had nothing to do with diamonds except the crook happened to be in the diamond trade. For more info check out:
