JOHN EDWARDS' PIRATE TREASURE

AVAST YE MATEYS!

"Tampa-based Odyssey Marine Exploration recently announced finding what could be the richest shipwreck ever – a 350-year old sunken ship containing 500,000 gold and silver Colonial-era coins worth hundreds of millions of dollars in the Atlantic off the English coast.

So what does this have to do with John Edwards? The bulk of Mr. Edward’s $30 million personal fortune is invested in Fortress Investments, a New York hedge fund that is the second largest shareholder of Odyssey Marine, whose stock nearly doubled on news of the find."

Well, it looks like if Spain has their way, John Edwards won't get his hands on a single dubloon.

If Spain continues to claim this find as their own, do you think Edwards will use a little international diplomacy to keep his treasure?
