One thing though: insuring a priceless artifact that is vital to the performance of the company (one company?) seems like a task. I mean, this would require some major justification. If you're enjoying some obscure gismo that the company is theoretically useless without, I think that warrants insurance companies to investigate this material. It might arouse suspicion. <br /><br />Rick - Actually I'm not clear as to whether Diablo's inventions just go "poof" into the wind or whether they leave behind some kind of remnants that might affect the environment negatively.

So, um, why not just keep doing that?</i><br /><br />Never mind steel: The fact that the things he makes will go away after a while is a selling point for the right materials.<br /><br />The first option is to make material for objects which are disposable. If you are going to throw something away within a year, do you really care if it is going to turn into fine sand in five?<br /><br />Even better, would be to make things that cause problems if they were to stick around. Even Dr. Helen Caldicott would have few problems with nuclear power if the waste was simply going to go *poof* after about a decade.Chakat Firepawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02002352879959672258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2856236869724526974.post-31536580271380987342009-10-23T11:30:29.900-04:002009-10-23T11:30:29.900-04:00If you think about it from the supervillain's ...If you think about it from the supervillain's point of view, this isn't such a bad idea. I think that it's possible to make $9 billion, and that there isn't an immediately obvious way to make more than that with alchemy. <br /><br />First off, creating more steel or gold is unlikely to make $9 Bil. The total supply of gold in the world (thank you google) is 1,555,210 kilograms (171 tons). That works out to something like $13 billion dollars. Lets say you double the supply of gold and sell it pound-by-pound. The demand for gold is finite, and the more gold that enters the market, the cheaper each pound gets. I think it's safe to assume doubling the supply would halve the value. By the time you reach $9 billion in gold profits, you've spent way too much time manifesting gold. Inflation in a market is a big worry for anybody who wants to make it rich with alchemy.<br /><br />I actually think it's possible to get $9 billion out of insurance fraud, though, especially with "wicked huge" policies. (I assume that wicked huge implies that the limits on the policies (unlike those on 9/11) had virtually no limit)<br /><br />If all the employees were fake "shell" employees, the worker's compensation insurance alone could be $2 billion (50 employees X 40 companies X $1 per "fatality"). <br /><br />I think that property insurance would be a necessity. For fraud purposes, he could insure each of the companies for some priceless artifact that is necessary for the function of the business, or on any number of things. <br /><br />I'm not sure that this is the <i>best</i> way to make money with alchemy (and evil), but it isn't all that bad.adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12640863484633342647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2856236869724526974.post-19409428610308335532009-10-23T11:01:23.167-04:002009-10-23T11:01:23.167-04:00Will - Yep.

It still puzzles me how Diablo is collecting the insurance checks (or plans to). I mean, I really don't imagine he put his name (or at least his real one) on these insurance policies. He probably has some kind of in with these business owners, but still...<br /><br />Michael - Yep, instant $.ShadowBankerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18253883719460683589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2856236869724526974.post-37127679225228266192009-10-23T00:15:23.814-04:002009-10-23T00:15:23.814-04:00Or create 20,000 tons of gold, pop into one of tho...Or create 20,000 tons of gold, pop into one of those GoldBuyer places, and collect a cheque for (if I've done the arithmetic properly) $640 billion.Michael Tnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2856236869724526974.post-19662879064778534552009-10-22T16:32:54.855-04:002009-10-22T16:32:54.855-04:00Just another point on the insurance, even if he ha...Just another point on the insurance, even if he had property insurance (and less say it was limited to only catastrophic losses versus some other type of losses, in order to keep the premiums nice and low - which would be suspicious) and was insured up to $9 billion (not unheard of for a tower of insurance to reach really big numbers, but that is WAY high), in the end (as Silverstein discovered and you pointed out), you can only collect replacement or repair in most insurance company. Property insurance is not life insurance that is payable for full value at time of loss, it covers the cost to repair or replace the structure. It is hard to believe the building we see at the end was worth anywhere near $9 billion, so Diablo probably overinsured and would've gotten only a fraction of the limits.<br /><br />Also, why buy the insurance policy in the past. Most property insurance is occurrence based and cover a policy period, meaning you can recover for losses suffered during the policy period. He could have avoided a ton of premium payments by waiting to insure until the year of the loss (which he knew). Alternatively, maybe he found some crazy 20 year policy period policy, but that wouldn't have been cheap regardless of the age of the building and renewing each year meant the policy premiums likely went up reflecting age of the building.<br /><br />I only wish they showed you the Reservations of Rights letter sent by his insurers who denied coverage for many reasons, including because he probably had a crime exclusion and Diablo's very acts made it appear like a crime rather than an act of God.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05099666407440688569noreply@blogger.com
