The world used to be a simpler place. I wonder if Odyssey will equip their ship with a powerful furnace in the future.

If justice is to shine here, that fortune must be returned to Ecuador, Peru and some southamerican countries, where it was gathered and stolen in the first place..... it is a sad joke to see two thieves fighting over stolen goods.

Two Thieves?

Only one thieve in this mess.

Recovering Abandon Treasure from the sea floor in International Waters does not make a thief.

Really? I know it may depend on anybody's point of view... but if you find an abandoned wallet or a cell phone in a park, will you keep it or try to return it?

After 300 years I suppose the owner would be dead.

What stopped Spain from Looking for this stuff?

They had the Native of the New to them Lands dig it up the first time.

They just let the Others dig it up the second time.

These folk are so Greedy there not even paying for the Funding required to Get this stuff off the bottom of the Ocean.

Sad State of Affairs if you ask me.

I suppose Mel Fisher should have given that treasure back to Spain?

That's yet another cog in the corruption.

I see NO Justus in that decision.

Someone is playing a fiddle on this mess.
