Are you kidding me? The judge probably got a kick back . Need to publish the names of the U,S, District Judges who were envolved and vote there dumb ass out of office. Share the gold! Oddessy,(who found it) Peru(where it came from), and greedy Spain( who did nothing). Hope Spain chokes on it.They want it all for there Heritage well this will be part of there Heritage also, modern day greedy thieves.Wonder how much the U.S. gives them in foriegn aid, this should take care of it. (forever) What if the U. S. had said NO belongs to the Oddesy,whats Spain going to do about it? Spain should be punished for the treatment of the Odesseys crew. Spains a pain in the ….
Way to go Odyessy, everyones proud of ya, Try to get laws changed to a more far agreement or divide and hide it next time, try not to have all your eggs in one basket.

I’m with stevenbb- dump the treasure back in the ocean and let Spain look for it. And if the Odyssey crew is not entitled to it then give it back to the people Spain stole it from in the first place.

I am starting to lose faith in our court system.
How can Spain claim treasure found in International waters.
And how can Spain claim gold that they stole from the Incans to begin with or the Aztec.
It is documented how much gold was stolen by Spain and there isn’t a number available for its worth.

How is it, that we can let gambling boats out 5 or 6 miles in International waters where our laws have no bearing, but Spain can claim that somehow they own international waters and something that has been lying on the ocean floor for at least 500 years?
It’s insane.

They would never get one coin from me!

Justice would have been to send the gold back from where it came and where it was stolen from, Peru.

Me alegro mucho de que nuestro tesoro , acuñado con el escudo de Castilla , lugar donde vivo , vuelva de nuevo a España. Posiblemente debamos de estar agradecidos a la empresa Odissey , sin embargo , estas monedas son ptrimonio de los españoles y deben de estar en alguno de nuestros muchos museos , pese a quien pese. Saludos desde España

Give me a good reason Odyssy Marine should not just dump the coins right back on the black swan and tell Spain “No problem, we put your coins back…” Hey, they have NO CONTRACT with the Spanish government to reveal the wreck location, just restore the coins back to their original location.
