Renouncing a Treasure for Free Press

A robot discovered gold on Chile's Robinson Crusoe Island, actually a lot more, a treasure of 800 metric tons of gold, silver and jewels, the long-lost treasure of Spanish Conquistador Juan Esteban Ubilla y Echeverria, worth over $10 billion.

Initially, the company threatened to withhold the location unless the government of Chile agree to give them a share in the loot. Now the company, Warner Technologies says all it wanted was the free press to show off all that their robot could do.

The job of excavating the treasure is too great for any company. "For this you need something bigger: the state," said the company as reported by Alaska's King.

Wagner instead agreed to turn over the coordinates to the government on the condition that if the treasure is excavated, a portion would be given to a number of Chilean charities, as well as the island’s residents.
