Arkadi Gaidamak is a major player in Africa Israel. Africa Israel is largely controlled by one of the main shareholders in ASCorp--Lev Leviev. Gaidamak was the subject of a French arrest warrant and is the man who provided the GPS equipment used in the assassination of UNITA leader Savimbi in Angola (a man Reagan called a "Freedom Fighter"). Maurice Tempelsman, Jackie O's consort and a man alledged to have "dated" Madeleine Albright, runs the diamond show in Angola (he arraigned for oil leases for the Kennedy kids). He is a front for DeBeers in America. It is unlikely there is any competition with DeBeers. That is the last thing the industry wants. More information posted today here:
