The (further and probably final suspension) of the APP selection process is a VERY good thing - indicating that doing this on private company base will not be swallowed by the colombian public.

The intent to grab the San Jose in a private project between Ex President Santos and his Friends failed…
• Our group (knowlegeable in Colombian politics and media spin) expected that … there is too much money involved and it can´t be done while the Colombian public is looking elsewhere …
• To get the info what modus operandi we suggest to the competent authorities - please contact.
Team Juan Manuel Santos/ Roger Dooley - “caught and crossed” by “the public opinion” on the San Jose grab.
The two things that are clear and announced by the new government for now:
• What is on the ocean floor will definitly be salvaged
• Colombia claims the total of it and will not split with Spain or anybody else who pretends a “legal claim”.
Nothing what Team Santos has done and promised, is valid, everything is under new negociation, but nothing has been taken from the table and ruled out for good either. (Except the claims of third parties like Sea Search, Spain, and UN buerocrats )
At this time it seems unlikley that the salvage contractors will be paid with actual gold coins from the wreck due to the “optics of it” and “what the press can make out of it”…
Colombia has actually the best example how this can be handled. It is the gold museum in Bogota. The museum is designed like a Bank Vault you can visit it and enter that vault where the Gold of the Americas - or what is left of it - is on display like in a Museum, but it is also a back up for the Colombian Currency - kind of like Fort Knox. So the gold is used in both ways as Museum and in Financial terms at the same time. Its “theorical ownership” is shared by the financial institutions that own Colombian Debth but it is still on display in Bogota and can not be moved from there nor be melted. So its “archeological value” is “owned by humanity” and made available to visit. It is a form to “eat a cake and have it on display too”.
In much the same way the gold from the san jose can stay in Cartagena in a special museum and the contractors be paid with it without handing it over and dispersing it over the planet .... what is the part the archeologists and the public claim.
Media Spin has become a central aspekt of this project - as we predicted from the very beginning.
It is key to seperate the value of the treasure to make it useable and leave the treasure in the museum - where it belongs - a good bank can handle this kind of contracts with a government.
Even if it sits in the Museum it can still be used as a kind of “collateral” in financial terms
Colateral . El colateral es un activo que sirve como garantía frente a la concesión de un crédito, una emisión de bonos o cualquier otra operación financiera .
So far the new colombian government has made two points cristal clear.
• The San Jose will be salvaged soon (which is a definite and final NO to the UN pretentions to declare treasure ships archeological sites that need to be left undisturbed - for the UN to grab when ready - )
• The Colombian Government is not even remotely considering to accept any kind of legal claim to the treasure neither from Spain nor from private treasure hunters.
The spanish claim was rejected on the base that Colombia is as much heir of the spanish overseas empire as modern Spain is. That makes the San Jose a historic “Colombian warship in colombian territorial waters”. End of discussion.
The Sea Search Armarda Claim was repelled sucessfully in the courts.
This means the San Jose is a Colombian internal issue only. The colombian authorities for archeology and maritime affairs are called to lead any salvage effort.
Anybody who knows those "authorities called to act now" is aware that the magnitude and nature of the project pushes those entities far out of their comfort zone - this is where independent advisors like our group get invited in, to establish a feasible project design under the leadership of the competent authorities.
That is exactly how our group predicted the most probable outcome from the beginning (no way the Santos / Dooley project could have prospered as it was designed)
There is only one feasible way left, the Duque Government ( and Governments to follow) will go for.
The covid crisis took all the attention of the colombian government and the san jose is in oblivion for now.
Nevertheless the deal structure negociated and outlined by the Santos government is still on the table.
Colombia expects USD 71,3 million in, as upfront money from international and private investors to “tackle the matter scientificly and politically correct” with involvement of “official agencies” archeologists and DIMAR.
No legal battle is left to fight .
Colombia is ready to give up to USD 1.2 Billion back as ROI to those investors as reward for their involvement as facilitators of a project the government otherwise lacks the resources to pull off.
In financial terms this means that every dollar invested in Tokens will return USD 146 as profit.
Our involvement is still reaching out to the global public, to become token owners to unite the required sum - when the sum is complete we are ready to take on the “unbiased catalyst” role, to make the thing happening, balancing the interest of all involved parties as outlined above.
How it is done, and how it looks like (media), have become central issues of the project frame, as we predicted from the very beginning.
The private salvage company approach of Santos has failed definitly.
Now everybody is invited to be part of the project …
Those who are "not in on it " are so due to their own decision not to buy into the public token offer.
the san jose as public as it can be…opt in for everybody…the offer is out for everybody since jan 2019 …some tokens are still available…get on the list now. Some 6900 visitors have seen that so far…
