The other half goes to the Gov. Im saying that in Colombia most of it wont even be inventoried before it goes out a back door. Canada and the US both have extensive and effective anti corruption legislation. Colombias performance in that area is highly lacking. Go to Transparency International and see how Colombia is doing on their corruption rankings compared to us before you start lumping us together.

There are a lot of reasons why you wouldn't want to bring it up; publicly at least. When are the descendants of the mayans/incas/aztecs going to lay claim to this?

I suppose a nation like Mexico could lay claim to a lot of it. India was colonized and turned into a commonwealth nation and they want their big diamond back. Maybe it's more about who has the bigger balls at the time of the claiming process. Note the US is right in there, as per the norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
