21. wiki: 2009 Graff Diamonds robbery (Redirected from Graff Diamonds robbery)

Emphasis my own:

The Graff Diamonds robbery took place on 6 August 2009 when two men posing as customers entered the premises of Graff Diamonds in New Bond Street, London and stole jewellery worth nearly £40 million (US$65 million).[1] It was believed to be the largest ever gems heist in Britain at the time, and the second largest British robbery after the £53 million raid on a Securitas depot in Kent in 2006.[2][3] The thieves' haul totalled 43 items of jewellery, consisting of rings, bracelets, necklaces and wristwatches.[2] One necklace alone has been reported as being worth more than £3.5m[4] Britain's previous largest jewellery robbery also took place at Graff's, in 2003.[5] As of September 2014, none of the stolen jewels have been recovered.[6]

The robbery

The robbers used the services of a professional make-up artist to alter their skin tones and their features using latex prosthetics and to be fitted with professional wigs.[7] The artist took four hours to apply the disguises, having been told that it was for a music video.[7] Viewing the results in a mirror, Aman Kassaye commented: "My own mother wouldn't recognise me now," to which his accomplice is reported to have laughed and replied: "That's got to be a good thing, hasn't it?" [8] The same make-up studio had unwittingly helped disguise members of the gang that robbed the Securitas depot in 2006.[8][9]

On 6 August 2009 at 4.40 pm, two sharply dressed men arrived at the Graff Diamonds jewellery store by taxi and once inside produced two handguns which they used to threaten staff. They made no attempt to conceal their faces from the premises' CCTV cameras due to their elaborate disguises. Even though one of the robbers was wearing leather gloves, store security allowed him entry, being used to the eccentric behaviour of some super-wealthy clients.

Petra Ehnar, a shop assistant, was forced at gunpoint to empty the store's display cabinets. A total of 43 rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches were taken. She was briefly held hostage at gunpoint and was forced into the street during the getaway. She testified that the robbers told her that she would be killed if she did not carry out their demands.[10] After releasing the hostage outside the store, one of the robbers fired a shot into the air to create confusion, and both escaped the scene in a blue BMW vehicle. This vehicle was abandoned in nearby Dover Street, where a second gunshot was fired into the ground while the robbers switched to a second vehicle, a silver Mercedes. They again switched vehicles in Farm Street, after which there was no further information regarding their whereabouts.[3]

All of the diamonds had been laser-inscribed with the Graff logo and a Gemological Institute of America identification number.[11]

Detectives investigating the robbery stated: "They knew exactly what they were looking for and we suspect they already had a market for the jewels." The suspects' details were circulated to all ports and airports but police believed they would have an elaborately prepared escape route and had already left the country.[2]

The robbery was being investigated by Barnes Flying Squad, headed by Detective Chief Inspector Pam Mace.

Financial loss to Graff Diamonds

Since none of the stolen jewellery was recovered as of March 2011, Graff Diamonds, owned by the billionaire Laurence Graff, lost more than US$10 million (£6.6 million) as a result of the robbery. The actual value of the pieces for insurance purposes, was put at $39 million (£26 million). But according to Nicholas Paine, the company secretary, the syndicate that insured Graff was only liable for $28.9 million.[12]

How much was Hilton sued for, by Graff & Avenatti?

$10 million

We'll come back to this... Don't worry, Paris, I hear you too.


I don't even need to go into the Stormy Daniels vs Donald Trump case at this time... Your move, Avenatti.

You wanna play the ace up the sleeve game? Bring it on.


Let's get back to Sweetman + Burton( + Scientology) vs Jim Carrey, shall we?

  • At this time, I do not suspect Mrs. Sweetman of any wrong-doing.
  • I still firmly suspect Michael Avenatti + Mark Burton + Scientologists(et al) of having foreknowledge and direct involvement in manufacturing the circumstances surrounding the death of Cathriona White and the subsequent harassment of both Brigid Sweetman and Jim Carrey.
  • I suspect that Jim Carrey and Brigid Sweetman and Paris Hilton(and others) are all being targeted by the network within Hollywood and a connected network of online 'trolls', described by Jim Carrey, which seems to be itself, related to Scientology and other related/connected cults over the decades.

Last weekend[Feb 6 & 7, 2015[23]] a conference was held in Dublin by former members of the Church of Scientology, who told of their alleged experiences of fraud and abuse at the cult. But one woman who stayed far away from the conference is Zabrina Collins (36), a formidable, high-ranking member who acts as part-spokesperson, part-stormtrooper for the group, which first set up an office in Ireland in 1956. Collins is currently at the centre of a bitter legal dispute with two former Scientologists who campaign against the organisation, with plenty of mud being flung on both sides.

 

  • Brigid Sweetman and Cathriona White hail from Ireland, Carrey met White in 2012 - the same year of the ‘Dublin Offlines; Speaking out against the cult of Scientology’ conference.
  • Cathriona White died in 2015, the same year as the ‘Scientology: Enough is Enough’ conference[22][23].
  • Scientology has been present in Ireland since at least as early as 1956[22][24].

Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard had previously purchased 69 Merrion Square for use as the ‘H.A.S.U.K. Atomic Energy Healing Division Emergency Station’ in 1956 as a base for bringing Scientology to Ireland and the UK, but it closed in 1958.

  • Cathriona White married Mark Burton in Jan 2013, a Scientologist she met while working on set for 'The Online Gamer', the set itself had many Scientologists present[10].
  • Cathriona White took classes in Scientology some time after meeting Mark[10][25].

26. 'It was for a green card': Jim Carrey 'claims late girlfriend Cathriona White's marriage to Mark Burton was a sham as he faces wrongful death case' | https://archive.is/D1lnL

Jim Carrey has reportedly claimed his ex-girlfriend, Cathriona White's marriage was a sham.~~

~~However, TMZ reports that Carrey's lawyer is now claiming the marriage was only 'for a green card' as the Liar Liar star was pictured kissing White a month after she tied the knot.

The picture shows Carrey and White on February 14, 2013 kissing, but White's marriage certificate said she married Burton on January 15.

^ 2 things to note:

  • Attempting to seed thoughts of Carrey's guilt into the mind of the reader, by specifically using the movie title "Liar Liar" in reference to Jim.
  • The article contains no photo of Carrey and White kissing.

Also provided in 26, is yet another handwritten note alleged to have been penned by White, to Carrey:

  • The letter states her age as being 27; 3 years before her death - conveniently still available to be found. Did Jim ever see it? Why is it in such good condition 3 years later? Who preserved it and why? Was it even written at the time implied by the age mentioned? Did White actually write this letter?

Tragic: Written in frail, spidery handwriting, and signed ‘Your Dewdrop’, the two-page letter (pictured) to Carrey from White is a devastating portrait of a woman

Despairing: In the letter (pictured) she writes of her despair at having allegedly contracted three sexually-transmitted diseases from her superstar boyfriend

  • "frail, spidery handwriting" - Faked? On drugs/not mentally fit? Fraudulent accusations nonetheless.
  • "allegedly contracted three sexually-transmitted diseases" - Unsubstantiated allegations being played off as true.
