The Odessey strikes again. Wonder of they'll get to keep it? That's 1,400,000 ounces in bars. WoW! Must 1000 oz bars.

edit: company says that be be only 20% of what is still on the wreck. And BTW, The Brits get a 20% cut. I didn't realize that Odyssey Salvage is a publicly traded company which is still in the hole, financially. The stock dropped 6% on the news. Go figure.

After the last fiasco, why were they dumb enough to tell anyone this time. I guess they get what they deserve.

If I recall correctly, Odyssey did their homework and had everything in place before they went after this shipwreck. They learned their lesson after the last time. This treasure they are working under contract for the UK.
