And nothing of value was lost. But it was lost in 2019.

Dude died in 2019.

Ehud Arye Laniado was born in Tel Aviv, Israel in 1954, and he worked as a masseuse before seeking his fortune in Africa and developing a keen eye for priceless gems. He founded Omega Diamonds in Antwerp, Belgium, where he became a citizen; he became one of the biggest international experts in valuing raw diamonds. He would go on to become a billionaire, buying the most expensive penthouse in Monaco (worth $39,400,000) and a house in Bel Air, California, where he loved to drink Chateau Margaux with celebrities. In 2014, he sold the world's most expensive diamond, the Blue Moon of Josephine, to a Hong Kong businessman for $48.4 million. However, he was always insecure about his short height and his apperance, being nicknamed "the Argentine" for resembling a tango dancer; the only time he forgot about his height was when he had his accountant read his account statement multiple times a day to reassure him. In 2013, he got in trouble for illegally importing diamonds from the Congo and Angola, and he prevented a tax evasion trial by paying a fine. He was later accused of lying about information to the Belgian authorities and was set to be placed on trial on 14 March 2019, but, on 7 March 2019, he died during a penis enlargement surgery at a plastic surgeon's clinic in Paris, France at the age of 65.
