The worlds richest wreck?

Divernet reports that a wreck found in 245 metres of water may be the richest wreck ever found. The freighter was sunk by a U-boat off Guyana during WW2 and was supposedly carrying 10 tons of gold, 70 tons of platinum, 1.5 tons of industrial diamonds – all in all worth about 2.6 billion pounds sterling. It seems like someone will become very very rich.
