According to "Treasure Quest/Black Swan" which just aired on the GREEN channel, Peru wants a cut (the silver was mined and minted in Peru), and descendants of the ship's captain and crew want a cut.
I wonder if the US will be making any back door deals for Peru or the ship's crew. It could be scandalous: Peru agrees to reduce shipments of cocaine in return for a cut of the treasure loot!
