That's an absolute violation of Rights. He's being jailed until he speaks? So much for the right to remain silent... That judge should be thrown in jail!
Wow they are going after Tommy for his life and limb thats against the law! They are not the ones who insured that treasure also when that ship sank the insurance on the cargo was collected. So nobody should be holding this man hostage in jail for treasure found. It doesn't belong to them they are persecuting this man over their own greed.
The knowledge of its location belonged to them, which they disclosed to him and he would have signed a non disclosure agreement. Without that knowledge he would have never found it

Yeah or leave him in there and no one ever gets the gold. I agree follow him around after letting him out and then let karma take place after his investors get their piece of the cake. They will probably off him anyway.
@@mauri4555it forfeited via maritime salvage law the people who lost it didn't care to find it till someone else found sum and there now saying well since you did all the work thanks where just gunna take it yeah that's not right either so karma would be no one gets it lmao or someone who truly truly deserves it a thieving government doesn't have a single claim according to there own laws so there's that 😂
He should have went to a private individual and struck a deal . These investors sound like bankers who have deep pockets and hold a powerful position . The shipwreck had another salvage crew 9 years ago reinvested with better equipment and with an estimated 1 billion left on the floor a mile down they will need that time . My gut says Tommy got his first haul in , had plenty of his own money , pulled up a lifestime worth of money , then decide to dip .
Surely the origional investers recieved their insurance on that sunken cargo! Over 100 years ago this treasure is worth millions and they are persecuteing him in order to break him. They are greedy and need put in jail for false arrest and theft.
Idk if I gave my life savings or any money to this guy to go find gold, & then the guy never paid me, I’d be pissed also. He’s a crook. Belongs in jail
Tommy has investors he never paid. He didn't give them what he owed them, so they sued. The gold was valued today at approximately $800,000,000. Who is actually being greedy here, them or him? Without their approximate $22 million investment, how much would he have? Nothing. "The love of money is the root of all evil" What a Waste
my sympathies are split between the workers and the investors. that being said, the sob can't just say and keep saying i don't know. give the last location that you KNOW of! there will be a trail from there, but he doesn't want to do that, because... there will a trail from there. kudos to thompson for finding it, but he's just a greedy crook.
he is a fraud for not returning the money to his investors even after finding treasure! wants to have his cake and eat it too. bottom line, he is penny wise pound foolish for trading his freedom to try and pull off this fraud
His investors actually did get paid yet they wanted more than what was agreed upon on contract and when he refused them they decided to say they didn’t get paid and put him in jail. I remember the story well and how corrupt the investors and government are
I NOMINATE ELON MUSK TO GET MR. THOMPSON OUT. MUSK HAS THE ATTORNEYS AND WOULDNT NOTICE A FEW MILLIONE MISSING FROM HIS CHUMP CHANGE JUNK DROOR. jaja. But really, get this guy out!!! IF I HAD ANY MONEY ID AT LEAST PUT IT ON HIS INMATE ACCOUNT. (IF THE FEDS DIDNT LOOT THAT TOO ALREADY)

Yeah.. issue is Tommy signed a plea deal saying he'd talk and he'd be released only if he talks
@@ben6591why would he sign that?

You can see we are nothing they can do whatever they want
Just let him out and follow him around way easier than what they are doing
Nope -- This guy is very smart -- let him stay where he is.. He is man with a plan..

I feel bad for most of the investors but I don’t for the scumbag lawyers and insurance companies that have alway tried steal a piece of the treasure.
These greedy people just want it all over his hard work. They already took millions from him.
Cutthroat buisness treasure hunting is.
Finders keepers acording to maritime law, put all the greedy scums in prison now
This is some Bullsh••!
Someone give that man a cough drop!
The Ship was found 167 miles offshore of South Carolina , they would have been off coarse as a steamer ship keeps close to land .
Lies. They court stole his treasure and told him it belonged to someone else. He found the money its his. period
Do a little checking. You're ... how to put this politely ... wrong.

His gold, he found it. But pay the investors back you thief. He gets out, he'll be laughing all the way to the bank.
