Diamonds Are A Drug Lord's/Terrorist's Best Friend?

There was a huge theft of $53 Million-worth of diamonds from a Cannes hotel over the weekend, and some guy on the news for CNN said that diamonds are "the most concentrated form of wealth in the world", and that if you want to buy weapons or drugs, they're perfect as an untraceable form of payment. So the next time I want to get rip-roaring high and start a war somewhere, I'll remember to grab a fistful of diamonds first: and you should too! Thanks to that news guy for his advice on how to pay for drugs and weapons; I'm sure lots of aspiring drug lords and terrorists never would have thought of that. But now that he suggested it...

Yeah, you know, if you really want to learn how to get away with crimes, just watch the news: every time someone fails to get away with murder or a terrorist attack, the news reports on everything they did wrong to get caught, and how they could have gotten away with it. What a wellspring of useful information for the career criminal/militant! Thanks, news people!

It's funny, between instructing terrorists and wasting time complaining about offensive comments rather than holding government accountable, I sometimes wonder whose side the news is on these days...

Here's the story about the Cannes hotel diamond heist:
