That is a pretty good way of laundering gold.

Step 1: Get a load of stolen gold.

Step 2: Melt it down into bars.

Step 3: Hey everybody! Look what I found in the sea somehow. Where you say? Oh, I don't know. It was at night during a storm, would you believe. I have to go now.

So theoretically who owns it?

The Boat owner, the captain, divided up amongst the crew like the money from any other catch?
