found down there and was kicked out by the Columbian government ?
I heard there was 3 billion in gold on board, and the US company had a
50/50 deal with the Interior Ministry if they found it, but that when they did,
the feds stepped in and gave them the boot. The article said the Interior
Ministry didn't have the authority to make a deal like that, and confiscated the
find. It was in the Columbian Supreme court I think, and was going to be decided
on earlier this year.
It seems to me it was in pretty deep water, off the coast near Cartagena.

The salvage company spent about 3 million on the search, and the investors
were pissed! I think they were using ROV'S, AND a small submarine. Haven't heard
any thing since last year. Frank D. Wondering what's for Dinner Tonight? Get new twists on family favorites at AOL Food. |
