A treasure hunter who found gold bullion from the wreckage of a ship, was tried in Florida court, USA, for deceiving his funders.
Tommy Thompson was arrested on a treasury of treasures filed by his investors.
A total of 161 investors gave Mr Thompson $ 12.7 million (Rp160 billion) to find a vessel suspected of having a treasure with the thought that they would benefit more than they had invested.
In 1988 Thompson managed to find millions of dollars worth of gold from a ship that sank off the coast of America in 1857.
However, investors have accused Thomspon of tricking them out of a deal linked to the discovery of the largest shipwreck in US history.
The 62-year-old man called the US justice ministry as "one of the smartest fugitives ever searched. Was arrested at a hotel on tuesday.
