World’s Biggest Diamond Heist

Joshua Davis wrote an amazing article for Wired – The Untold Story of the World’s Biggest Diamond Heist – about the biggest successful bank robbery in history: how was it accomplished, why the perpetrators got caught in the end, and how come nobody still knows all the details (including the Big Question: where on Earth is all that loot today?). He interviews some of the key people in the story as well, with proper caveats about their trustworthiness. A masterful example of good journalism and a riveting read. The Obligatory Reading Of The Day.
