I want to hear the Spanish looters cry and wail about “their” lost gold! Colombia is thumbing their nose at Spain so far. It looks to me like they are in the drivers seat.

"The Colombian State will invest 17,962 million pesos ($1,073,646) in the recovery process, officials say."
I wonder how they came up with that number?

The salvage team really failed by revealing the location without securing everything in strong agreements. Now they will have to live with that decision for the rest of their days. It will be a miracle if they manage to collect the measly 5% finder's fee they are now promised.
