After he salvages the platinum, can I torpedo his boat, and then salvage that for myself?

those of you thinking it is easy. it isnt. so far this will be only the 5th shipwreck to pay out. meaning it will be a profit instead of a loss. only 5 shipwrecks have turned a profit for the salvager.

I agree in sentiment, but that is not how salvage rights work.

US and Russian governments begin claiming ownership of the shipwreck that they haven't cared about for over 50 years in 3....2......1.............

Let me rephrase it for you. According to Tylor Liles, this will be the fifth case somebody is going to report profit to the Tax collecting service of their respectful governments. All others (1000s) either claimed loss or went mute.

Does it make sense now?

I think you misunderstood the "torpedo" reference.

It's generally 25% of the payout that goes in your account.

Almost every State has the "windfall" or "unearned" income tax to snag you if you win, except Washington iirc. Lottery winners aren't a big demographic for politicians to worry about.

I hear Satan has shinier toys though. And is more fun at parties.

Excuse me. I mean no disrespect. You are saying that a human created ''it all'' . Did Jesus ever say that he created the universe? Do you really think a human created the entire universe? I am just interested in your response, I am not placing my opinions or beliefs on either side of a line.

The word? It's a book. Just cause your parents said it was true doesn't make it true.
