Summary

This quote suggests that treason, like diamonds, is not something that the "small trader" or ordinary person can profit from. In other words, engaging in treasonous activities does not bring any benefits or gains to those who participate in it on a smaller scale. This analogy implies that treason is a high-stakes endeavor that may only yield rewards for those at the top or with significant power, much like the diamond trade that primarily benefits larger players in the industry.
