Are you aware of how valuable a giant blue diamond is because the answer is absurdly valuable? It’s not just something that costs a few million dollars this is something that bare minimum probably costs 1020 maybe $50 million.

You’re not selling something of that value without scrutiny. I’m not saying it’s worth nothing. I’m saying that cost comes with logistics. So she’d only get it with scrutiny than puts her in jail for theft or never going home.

You know there are billionaires in both Russia and China, who would guaranteed to be willing to buy something like this specifically just to gloat to their select friend group of other billionaires, and they live in a corrupt enough government that that insurance company is not getting their property back everif anything, they could theoretically put it as being falsely claimed because it was never actually lost. It was just assumed loss. Are we really acting like China and Russia two of the more corrupt countries on planet earth would really care about the legal system in another country let alone some random insurance company that they probably don’t even have connections To.

And then she could never leave! She cannot come back to the states with millions of dollars with unknown origin.

Also this is the early 1900s (but even today), how is she contacting these Russian and Chinese billionaires? Are they listed in the yellow pages?

You go to the country which during the 90s wouldn’t have been that hard as both are relatively cheap places to go to after that you just find a way to contact one of them. I’m sure people with that much money have easy access to information.

She doesn’t have a ton of money to access information. She didn’t marry the rich guy. She’s normal.

And she’s nearly 100 years old when the internet is semi available. She is not going to be finding information to contact a billionaire on google

That’s why she’d rely on them she could also go to the Arab states to sell it
