Diamond swindle in Hatton Garden by Vanderstroom kin?
A story unfolds of Cornelius Vanderstroom a sharp diamond merchant of Hatton Garden rather than London who teams with an American colonel to swap diamonds for cash. The billfold and pocketbook are exploited then vanish along with jewels. The con is planned through staged settings and fake payments leaving no trace and the culprits vanish. Vanderstroom’s pride and wit collapse as he realizes his own misdirection. The case ends with an empty jewel case and a legendary line about the quickness of the hand deceiving the eye while authorities note the Flash Cassady as a possible mastermind.
