Bin Laden's Gold Connection

I just knew somehow that the shiny stuff that we have been writing about for a year here at The PolyCapitalist was going to somehow find its way into the bin Laden hideout story:

Nick Robertson of CNN observed on Twitter that neighbours say the "Osama entourage" passed themselves off as gold merchants.

But as discussed on this blog previously, when it comes to smuggling neither cash nor gold can match the advantages of diamonds.
