    Total BS - lets do some calculations:
    A load of $130,000,000,000 worth of gold is about 100,000,000 ounces. And 100,000,000 ounces is about 3,100 METRIC TONNES! There is no freaking way that a 19th century ship could carry 3,100 metric tonnes of anything! If you look up cargo ships of that era the load was around 1-2000 T. The entire ship with coal only weighed 5,900T. Wiki says its gold cargo was 200T not 3,100Tons.

    Reminds me of this video from 2013 - supermen Police officers moving 20-30KG bars as if they were polystyrene - which they probably were

    It just proves again that a boat is the best place to hide your valuables - it takes thieves a century to find it.

    Oh ,i see what has happened now.
    This press release is a PUMP to get plenty of people interested and invested with their $$$$$$$$.
    Funny stuff, and even though it has been called out i bet the money hunters seeking investment will still make a sh$t ton of cash from greedy idiots.

    Id say bullshit too, since its been found multiple times, one of which seems to be SK Government Body..... but if true surely the "Salvages Team" is talking about Premium Prices for coins and bars with "Sunken Treasure" premium.
