I'm plotting with Vorago right now. I called on him in Antwerp last year for our preliminary meeting. Right, Bruno?

For some reason I read this with the voice of George Clooney in my head. But what happened to the oriental acrobat?

Along with the funky bass theme music. Can you have a big heist without funky bass theme music?

My wife is a jeweler/metalsmith, and she told me a story about the single largest diamond that was ever stolen. The rumor is about the French Blue Diamond that was stolen during the French Revolution. It was recut and became a couple smaller diamonds and the largest part became the Hope diamond. Supposedly in the last couple years there has been some sort of proof confirming the rumor.
