Zim have certainly been shown to be corrupt in the past.
This Newman individual though also had a torrid time with them and had 43K carots confiscated, one third of what Vast have to go for.
Hoping their diamonds are worth one third of his 43K carots in dollar terms still gives $100M USD so a very interesting play this month imho.
"Newman Chiadzwa has also had a sour relationship with the government
In 2010, he was sentenced to five years in jail and fined US$132 764 for illegally possessing 43, 028 carats of diamonds after a long legal battle with the state, according to court records. He was released after serving 16 months.
The following year, though, Newman successfully sued the government to recover diamonds worth US$300 million that the state had forfeited during his arrest."
