Overview
In Diamonds in the Rough Ray Boccino calls in his favour. Tony Prince and Luis Lopez are buying diamonds, and Ray wants them. Johnny gets help from the Lost's Broker chapter and crashes the deal. Evan Moss escapes with the stones, and Johnny chases him down and takes the diamonds.
Ray contacts Johnny through Ashley. The heist goes after the same Platypus diamond deal Luis attends in Frosting on the Cake. After Evan's death, the diamonds are hidden in trash bags so Ray's men can collect them, which leads into Taking in the Trash in Grand Theft Auto IV.
