The $21.7 billion bill, Dupuy said, is today's value for the 90 million gold francs Paris strong-armed from Haiti in the 19th century, with reparations for moral crimes yet to be calculated.

This ought to be really good. We could start a guessing game on how much the Haitian government would demand for "moral crimes" which happened over 200 years ago. The sky would be the limit.

No kidding. The things the French did it their slaves in Haiti, makes anything in US history pale in comparison.
