The victim was a billionaire, and apparently there were no serious injuries. This is a comedy.

I imagine he’d either cut them into smaller gems, losing most of their value. Or sell them to a 3rd world dictator, or a shady billionaire that no one pays much attention towards.

I don’t think you steal $136 million dollars worth of jewels without connections to fence them.
