Just for your info, I've just posted this into a similar thread to clear up some confusion regarding the last part of your post:

I've now seen this claim in a few threads and some things need to be clarified. The compromising photos were not found during the Hatton Garden heist, they were found by one of the same gang during a previous similar raid on a Lloyds Bank/Baker Street in 1971 https://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/hatton-garden-heist-leader-found-7196229.amp. Also, aside from the secure vault and diamond jewellers being registered and located at 88-90 Hatton Garden, London EC1 8PN its good to know that this is a well known company "hosting" address containing literally dozens of offices and PO Box mail outlets and as such is listed as the 'origin' address for over 1100 companies - and whilst its likely not all will be legit, there are many that are (not dissimilar I imagine, to the "boiler room" address for thousands of shell companies at the infamous 790-820 Finchley Road) https://www.endole.co.uk/explorer/postcode/ec1n-8pn A good explanation for the Barbara Kahan connection reveals her named as director in over 1100 different companies http://www.justanswer.co.uk/law/8dm6p-barbara-kahan-not-real-person-new-company.html Again, I'm guessing some will be suspect but many are not - and this practice is neither uncommon nor illegal. I'm unsure as to the true type or nature of RD's "companies" listed there or using Barbara Kahan directorship (and I'm betting there wasn't much clean about them) but that he scrubbed his presence a month prior to the diamond heist seems to me to be purely coincidental and certainly can't be linked to the finding of compromising photos by the Hatton Garden robbers.

That Barbara Kahan explanation was glossing over the criminal elements of that story and there's a good article explaining the whole shell company debacle. I'll have to dig it out.

Consider me better informed. Thanks for this.
