Treasure Hunt and Historical Figures

Bingo Minerva is on a quest to find Yamashita treasure maps, believed to be linked to Robert Curtis, who had connections with President Ferdinand Marcos. Curtis, a mining engineer, fled the Philippines fearing for his life after working with Marcos. He shared his story with the Las Vegas Sun, providing evidence like maps and tapes. Brian Greenspun, editor of the Sun, recalls Curtis' fear and the authenticity of his claims.
