Bling Compensation
By Kate | March 9, 2008
All persons located in the United States who purchased any diamond or diamond jewelry between January 1, 1994 and March 31, 2006 may be eligible for money back from DeBeers. Beginning in 2001, Plaintiffs in several states filed lawsuits against De Beers in state and federal courts alleging that De Beers unlawfully monopolized the supply of diamonds, conspired to fix, raise, and control diamond prices, and issued false and misleading advertising.
You can file a claim on this website to get a cut of the settlement. But, you must file your claim by May 19, 2008.

. . . Not to mention maimed and abused thousands of Africans, including small children . . .
Hip Hip HOORAY for the legal system! Once in awhile, the legal system does redeem itself.
Have you seen the movie “Amistad?” The one American movie I can think of where the legal system is the hero.

I don’t think the diamonds in my platter-sized “THUG 4 LIFE” pendant are real, but I’ll give it a shot. Thanks!
