Not really fraud when it comes to insurance which is what my wording most implied. Good point.
I was thinking that it might be considered fraud when amounts were reported to Brink but I admit I know nothing about transportation/security type things. If Brink is just insuring it and the security is just to protect what is insured maybe it doesn't matter. I know I'd be pissed if I was told I'd been transporting a much higher value target than I was paid to transport, and on a regular basis. $150 million is way more dangerous to transport than $8 mil.
Certainly, there are a bunch of other people who might legitimately need to know what they're dealing with
In addition to all of the above thread, there's also two ways to "value" jewelry. A) How much you could get someone to pay you for the item if you sold it, and B) How much it would cost to replace it with something identical or equivalent. Usually B is waaaaaay more expensive than A, unless it's common Walmart jewelry counter grade stuff. And even then, B is merely waaay more expensive than A.
There’s also C) How much the individual components of the jewellery are worth if disassembled/smelted down - i.e. the spot price of any gems or metals used in the piece of jewellery’s construction. This is usually the lowest form of valuation as it doesn’t take into account the labour/expertise of construction and has an associated smelting cost to extract the raw components.
