<p>[QUOTE=&quot;harley bissell, post: 3890149, member: 88212&quot;]In states like Florida and anything that can be stolen again by Spain they have forfeited the right to be treated honorably. Sending salvaged shipwreck gold to Spain instead of the countries where they tortured and enslaved natives to get it is abominable. Florida requires hefty payments and licenses to search for shipwrecks and when you find one legally and give them their fair share after jumping through multiple hoops they seize it all and it takes years and years and millions in legal fees to get it back. Read up on what they did to Mel Fisher and the Atocha treasure. That said these guys were fools and greedy. They should have immediately asked permission to search the area where they found it and turned it over to the proper authorities. They would be basking in total freedom and 25% of the value instead of massive fines and prison time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
