This Informer was part of a syndicate of jewel thieves that hailed primarily from the Balkans. He’s been entangled in crime his whole life, including many high stake jewel heists – stealing hundreds of millions of dollars worth of uncut diamonds, jewelry and cash.

It only takes him 60 seconds to walk into a jewelry store, smash the displays with hammers and crowbars and grab all he could get his hands on.

He’d loot these diamonds at night and then sell them right back to the district during the day - describing this as the perfect continuum.

There were enemies, violence and back stabbing situations. Once, he was kidnapped, wrapped in duct tape and had his life threatened in exchange for his blueprints and keys to the city’s diamond district.

He says guys like him do not last long and was eventually caught and imprisoned for over a decade. Nowadays, the Informer has retired from crime but he misses the adrenaline, the action and the abundance of cash. He still pictures himself doing the robberies in his head and lives with no regrets, “ I lived a pretty full life, I took chances”.
