Richie Rich: Copycat-Thief!

A wily prince from Algeria performs a 'copycat-heist' of a baron's 'blood-diamonds' from a Jerusalem bank in a special Robin Hood like demo.

A funny blood-diamond heist/caper inspired by Dollar$ (Warren Beatty). Enjoy (signing off...finally!),

Amlan Satan is an Algerian-American student of guerrilla-warfare and has been studying blood-diamonds (warlord-mined gems from Africa/Europe used to fund terrorism!). He knows of a corrupt Euro-baron named Goldfinger who's been smuggling blood-diamonds into Israel and seeks to infiltrate and upstage his gem-vault in Jerusalem using a nifty copycat-theft.

SATAN (Amlan): Goldfinger's been nabbed by a Jerusalem thief-team already, and I'm going to copycat the heist.

Now, Amlan Satan happens to be a fan of Richie Rich comic books. He's after all a rich princely heir to an Algerian fortune and has till now used his funds to invest in social charities. Now, he's going to fund this dashing heist of Goldfinger's blood-diamonds in Jerusalem by pulling up to the bank claiming to be a wealthy Saudi prince seeking photos of Goldfinger's gems, and costumed as a thespian with a street-theater performance about Goldfinger's gems. Satan (Amlan) found this nifty idea of the heist from a Richie Rich comic book.

Amlan Satan pulls up to the Jerusalem bank in a purchased Lamborghini and dressed as the 'Thespian' and wielding a toy water-gun, part of this 'Goldfinger theater' performance, but no one knows his water-gun is filled with corrosive acid.

Satan/Thespian presents his story to the very amused bank manager in Jerusalem who tells a guardsman to escort the 'street-performer' to the vault-room with the safe-boxes containing Goldfinger's gems for media-theater photos. The bank manager thinks this should be an excellent performance highlighting why the previous heist of the baron's gems will be media-accented with this positive entertaining street-story!

When Satan/Thespian reveals to the bank manager inside the safe-box area of the Jerusalem bank-vault that his water-gun is filled with acid, he has to explain to him quietly/discreetly that this heist-stunt will be a very different media message about people 'crowding' around corrupt blood-diamond barons seeking terrorism-financing and that the guardsman needs to keep everything discreet while Thespian burns a hole into the Goldfinger safe-box to switch his blood-gems with fakes he's brought with him, hidden in the lining of his costume-jacket!

Satan/Thespian walks out of the Jerusalem bank with $20 million worth of Goldfinger's blood-diamonds and tells the Jerusalem Gazette, "Democracy won't stand for such outrageous terrorism-financing and will be swiftly met with new/creative forms of modern civilization vigilante-dance...even in the form of copycat-diagonals!"

Amlan Satan ('Thespian') then trades in the Interpol-relations underground his Goldfinger gem-assets for a new private Swiss account and donates some of the money to a Jewish relief fund linked to anti-terrorism work in Jerusalem. Satan, a fan of Richie Rich, then buys an iconic Thief of Thieves comic book to enjoy for himself, content he's now doing the sort of 'social work' worthy of his princely title in the modern world!

INTERPOL: Blood-diamond corruption linked to terrorism-financing threatens Jewish diamond-merchants seeking absolution.

Did Amlan Satan do the wise thing? Is he really a real-life Robin Hood? His nifty copycat-followup heist of Goldfinger's blood-diamonds spread the good word that barons financing modern terrorism are not simply 'immune' from the hands of modern detectives. Good show, right?
