They had also planned to rob an armored car, prosecutors said. Scalise and Rachel were convicted in Britain of using a hand grenade as a threat in 1980 to rob London's posh Graff Jewelers of $3.6 million worth of goods, including the diamond. They began serving 15-year prison terms in 1984 and were released in 1993. The FBI has said Scalise's resume included serving as a technical adviser on the movie "Public Enemies" about Depression Era gangster John Dillinger, which was filmed in Chicago in 2008. Asked by reporters as he left court last week if the Marlborough Diamond could ever be located, Scalise said, "If Lloyd's wanted to pay enough money, maybe they could."
