to me these are the most important points in the article:
General Motors and Nissan make the top-selling electric cars in the nation, the Volt and Leaf. Neither knows of any real-world blazes in those vehicles. A Chevrolet Volt caught fire two years ago after a government crash test, but the government closed an investigation into the incident after GM agreed to a safety campaign to bolster shielding around the battery.
GM has sold more than 50,000 Volts in the U.S. since late 2010. Nissan has sold almost 38,000 Leafs. Tesla has sold an estimated 16,251 Model S cars in the U.S., according to Autodata Corp.
The reason diamonds have such low resale value is because, unlike precious metals, a diamond is not fungible.
Someone in the diamond business already has a wholesale source who provides them with a variety of stones at market prices.
Then Joe Blow comes in off the street and wants to sell his stone. Why would the buyer offer the seller market price? They already have a source for market price stones. So the buyer will low ball Joe Blow.
And Joe Blow will accept the low ball because it isn't easy to find a buyer for a diamond when you only have one stone because each one is unique and different people want different things.
Can you give an idea on the traffic volume that goes through it. How are non-locals, who are likely used to smaller roundabouts, deal when coming across a 'magic' roundabout.
DarkMarket was an English-speaking internet cybercrime forum created by Renukanth Subramaniam in London that was shut down in 2008 after FBI agent J. Keith Mularski infiltrated it using the alias Master Splyntr, leading to more than 60 arrests worldwide. Subramaniam, who used the alias JiLsi, admitted conspiracy to defraud and was sentenced to nearly five years in prison in February 2010.
The website allowed buyers and sellers of stolen identities and credit card data to meet and conduct criminal enterprise in an entrepreneurial, peer-reviewed environment. It had 2,500 users at its peak.
I also think that a lot of black hats are working for the feds. But I think it has more to do with their lack of integrity and morals rather than threats and intimidation.
Legal advice is a big part of black hat literature, so I don't think any of them can claim ignorance.
