A Diamond Necklace Theft Does Not Go As Planned

The transcript details a historical fraud involving a diamond necklace intended for Marie Antoinette. Jewelers Boma and Basenge, eager to sell the necklace, were deceived by Jean, who used Cardinal de Rohan as a pawn. The Cardinal, misled by fake letters from Marie Antoinette, agreed to purchase the necklace on her behalf. Jean and her accomplices dismantled the necklace and sold the jewels. Suspicion arose when Marie Antoinette was never seen wearing the necklace, leading to the fraud's discovery by Boehmer and Henriette Campan.
