Well, him giving $10 million dollars of stones away for appraisal fees didn’t help his bottom line any. There must be more to that story. I seem to recall you are right though, I think he spent a lot of money fighting the government over the find.

That seems to always be a problem for treasure hunters with Govts. and archeologists and others who want a piece of the pie.
