Reminds me of this story

HONG KONG (AP) — A Hong Kong billionaire tycoon who has been convicted of corruption paid a total of $77 million at auctions in Geneva for two large and rare colored diamonds for his daughter, his office said Thursday.

I watched a doc on diamonds and they stated that this is probably more common than most know. Brokers like Da Beers will keep them out of view in order to sustain artificial/man-maid values on existing product.

Yeah I saw that one. They have buildings and buildings of them underground all over the place and if released they would be worthless. I think Russia was one of the main places.
