Re: WikiLeaks Cables Cited in Lawsuit Over $500 Million Sunken Treasure

[Jeffrey Walton <noloader () gmail com>]

According to "Treasure Quest/Black Swan" which just aired on the GREEN
channel, Peru wants a cut (the silver was mined and minted in Peru),
and descendants of the ship's captain and crew want a cut.

I wonder if the US will be making any back door deals for Peru or the
ship's crew. It could be scandalous: Peru agrees to reduce shipments
of cocaine in return for a cut of the treasure loot!
