It seems imprudent to put $100B in a single boat. Was it insured?

If I'm calculating correctly, 100 Billion British Pounds in gold, at today's prices, is around 3600 tons.
Seems excessive. I think there's a few extra zeroes.

I hope the warship wasn’t sent into battle while carrying that cargo.
As a general rule, you should avoid a major fight while carrying a heavy load.

A hundred billion in gold. Back when a hundred billion was worth something. It’s amazing that the ship didn’t sink at the pier with that much weight on her.

Oh good. They finally found my property.
Just send it to lowbridge, care of freerepublic, USA. Thanks in advance.

Russia will also get an equal share of the money as they are the rightful owners of the ship and have been helping the South Korean firm with their search for the wreck.

My first thought upon reading the headline:
Wow. President Trump secured a refund from Putin from the profit he made selling the Uranium Hillary Clinton gave him.

$100 billion seems excessive. I’m wondering if they didn’t mean $100 million. That would be a lot more plausible for payroll and port expenses.

Who did the Russians steal the Gold from ?
To: C19fan
Reminds me of an incident in WWII in which a ship with gold was damaged by the Nazis, then torpedoed by our own warships to keep the gold out of the nazi hands.
When found about forty five years ago, Russia, Great Britain and the USA put in a claim for the gold. It was then found that the USA had insurance on the gold and the insurance had paid off, so the US withdrew all claim to the gold.
To: C19fan
1904-1905 is before the commies killed the Czar.
Does this mean the gold belongs to the current Russian government or to the family of the Czar?
