Yes, that was a product 'de la propia cosecha' -g- And your story is funny as well... Imagine all the stuff that went on during la conquista... The Spaniards were not exactly the sisters of charity and once established in a land where they were rulers... The untold stories must be 'quite telling' of what really went on. But we will never know. I hope the translator was wise and put away the treasure and diversified it well... as by now the law of compound interest would have produced a fortune larger than 10 Bill Gates... Problem is... I wonder if he found a friendly banker back then that would not run with the treasure himself, let alone give him a decent rate of return. Although back then there were no dólares to speak of, perhaps he was the first "vendepatrias mal-patriota" and took off with the gold to some offshore location of ill repute... -g-
