  1. The problem is Americans saying they want the money. The United States doesn't have any extradition laws for financial crimes committed in foreign countries.

  2. You said many natives died. It was more than that. For the Maya, in Central America, there were 25 million when the Spanish landed. After five years there was less than 5 million alive. That's the greatest genocide on earth.

  3. Here we go, Americans talking about foreigners as if they were Americans.

  8.  @figaro-dg5c5  I know what happens to people who are known to win big jackpots. They rarely survive two years. The best ones hire a lawyer and flee the United States. I would have a big bag full of thousand dollar bills, and I'd go around my hometown giving money away, every day, until a million was gone. I don't care what happens because of this, I can handle myself, thinking everyone else will have happy thoughts about me when I'm gone, just in case I come back.

  9.  @_UsernameUnavailable_  The United States doesn't have any extradition laws for financial crimes committed in foreign countries. I'm surprised the Americans waited this long.

  10.  @davepatton7529  Americans took over countries in Central and South America in the 1940s. Columbia was 1944. That's when "Juan Valdez", a coffee bean picker, was shown high up in Andes mountains, talking about the coffee growing on slopes, looking like a cocaine trafficker, what was hot in America at the time. The Exon Valdez, same name, was the first super oil tanker, said to be unsinkable. It sank. You've got your American history, I've got what the world sees, psycho American greed.

  11.  @figaro-dg5c5  You swear, but you shouldn't care. Americans took over Central and South American countries in the 1940s. That was about taking over their wealth and oil for Uncle Sams' mywalletto.

  12. The wealth of this wreck has been reported for a long time. It was known at the time of sinking. You're talking gold greed-heads, down to the last gram.
