Tas,

    You may also have heard in that report that Walmart is going to be
    exempt because they only buy from wholesalers and sell retail.  The
    problem, it seems, is when jewelers buy from the public or privately
    and sell or resell the items privately.  I am waiting, as we all
    should, for details.  But no need to get in a tizzy right now. 
    Myself, I wouldn't buy a tanzanite or loose diamond from a guy off
    the street if I didn't know this person or it seemed even remotely
    shady.  Of course, I'm not knowledgeable about all the ways that a
    person could use the jewelry business to launder dirty money, but it
    is a reality we may have to deal with.  

Larry
