Several of the richest and most influential men in the diamond trade are defendants in the suit. They formed a diamond syndicate which controlled the output of the world. The syndicate was described in Court as being of "unbelievable wealth and power," and the extent of its operations sounded like the dreams of a fiction writer. bers of the ayndicate sued by the United Diamond Fields of British Guiana included Solomon (Solly) Joel and his brother Jack Joel, wealthy English sportsmen whose stables house some of the finest race horses in the country, the Barnato brothers, members of another pro- minent family and Sir Ernest Op penheimer, Louis Oppenheimer and Otto Oppenheimer, the latter de-humour." scribed as the "man of mystery in the fight for the control of día monds throughout the world.
