Diamonds: Difference between revisions

Nobody who struggled for the diamonds ever owned them permanently. Apparently, all of the protagonists in GTA IV and both episodes never accomplished in permanently owning the diamonds in their storylines, apart from stealing them.  Mostly ''everyone'' aside from the GTA player characters that had physically touched the diamonds are killed between the three games, either in a directly related way, or in some unrelated mission.

 

In addition, the original owner of the diamonds was [[Ray Bulgarin]], though he was the owner, he was killed by Luis for getting revenge on him. Below are the consequences of the people that stole and owned them.  The consequences are based on the storyline.

Unfortunately, Luis Lopez [[Not So Fast|ambushed the deal]] after learning what was going down. This sparked chaos in the museum, and Johnny snatched the cash, while Isaac grabbed the diamonds. Both Niko and Johnny fought through the Jewish Mob and escaped, but Niko left with nothing. Amidst the riot, Luis caught Isaac and knocked him out, asking him not to "take it too personally", retrieving the diamonds. He then also escaped and gave them to Tony, who secured them in his safe.

Because Johnny stole the money, Ray sent [[No Way on the Subway|Niko to kill Johnny's best friend, Jim Fitzgerald]], after [[Was It Worth It?|failing to do so himself]]. Johnny was then attacked by numerous groups of hitmen but managed to survive, only to learn that Jim had indeed been killed. Johnny was then [[Get Lost|advised by acquaintance]] Congressman [[Thomas Stubbs]] to stay away from Ray, as Stubbs correctly predicted that Ray would be either dead or in jail within a month.

Isaac Roth, having regained consciousness in the museum, fled to the Majestic hotel and began falsely accusing Ray of setting up the deal in order to keep both the diamonds and the money. Isaac threatened to have Ray killed, so Ray sent [[Late Checkout|Niko to the Majestic to finish off Isaac and the Jewish Mob]]. After doing this, Niko refused to do any more work for Ray.

Ray's bosses, the Pegorino's, soon came up with a plan to get the diamonds off Tony and Luis. They used their small time associates, the McReary's, and Niko to [[I'll Take Her|kidnap Tony's friend Gracie Ancelotti]] and hold her for ransom to coax Tony into giving up the diamonds for Gracie herself. After the Ancelotti's [[She's a Keeper|failed to get Gracie back by force]], and with Luis and Tony facing death threats from Gracie's father, they gave in and arrived to exchange the diamonds. Niko and his friend Packie McReary [[Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend|met with Luis and Tony on Charge Island]]. The deal would have gone to plan if not for the interruption of Bulgarin, who seeked to reclaim his diamonds which he believed Luis had stolen and also to kill Niko, a former employee.

A short while later, Luis was walking through Meadows Park to meet with Tony, shortly after [[Departure Time|killing Bulgarin aboard his private jet]]. He accidentally bumped into [[Jerry Kapowitz]], who fell to the ground knocking over a trash bin. After apologizing, Luis continued on, but Jerry noticed that among the split trash, lied the small pouch of diamonds. He examined them before running off with excitement.

According to a Liberty Tree report, over 100 people contested Jerry and claimed ownership of the diamonds, but Mayor [[Julio Ochoa]] finally allowed Jerry to keep the money made from selling them. He later bought a mansion in [[Alderney]], contrary to reports that he planned to move to [[Vice City]] and open a gun and liquor store.
