    The leeches will descend with an army of lawyers and the finders will be lucky to live long enough to see any of the proceeds....the law firms, however, will be financially secure. Cheers, RickO

    "There's 71 tons of platinum, there's some gold ingots and there's also some uncut diamonds, industrial diamonds, that were on the Port Nicholson," said Capt. Gary Esper."

    It sounds like there is more platinum than gold.

    From what I heard, this was a shipment from one bank to another, at this time neither bank is still in business. This discovery was over 2 years ago and they have been doing the paperwork correctly and no one has yet come forward. It is believed that if anyone comes forward to make a claim, it will be after this company recovers the PMs (After the work is done).

    The original cost of the Platinum was 50 Million, now worth Billions.

    ...I just realized the info I am posing is from the first video...lol.

    I seem to recall people calling BS on this quite some time ago.

    They've cried wolf about it many times, and the argument was that they're fleecing "investors".

    It will be fascinating to see if it comes true. But elements of this story seem awfully far fetched.

    It will be interesting to see if it pans out, some say it was carrying military stores and auto parts.

    Wiki, less sure it has anything good


    Another says US Treasury ledger said it had the platinum but others say no

    Law firms and bankers are jostling for position to make a claim. It will undoubtedly turn into a legal battle if there's billions to be had.

    What's all the legal fuss about?

    The Spanish will give O-fearless leader a call and they can have this one as well.
