Don't the Fishers have enough? They NEVER would have found those emeralds if someone else had not stumbled upon them!!!!GREED GREED. Why don't both parties come together and split $500 million down the middle? Everyone will have a nice slice including all of the investors and the divers and the ones who did the initial work that the fishers never would have done.And if everyone spends and saves their money wisely it should last everyone o lifetime. Problem solved

Are you serious? The richer you are, the more desperate you want more money and power. You realize that all this money has not solved your problems and someone always has more, so you need more,more ,more!! see Mitt Romney for more information. After all, he is tearing down an Ocean front mansion in the most expensive neighborhood of San Diego to build a new house 4 times larger! Oh, by the way, it is his fourth house! More, more, more!!!
