Templar Treasure Refund?
The Knights Templar are suing the Vatican to recover the treasure that was taken from them 700 years ago:

Just when you thought Facebook employees were making out like bandits and as if the Catholic Church didn’t have enough economic trouble on their hands, let’s assume a very modest initial value of 10 million in Templar treasure.
Now compound that annually at a modest 7% … for SEVEN HUNDRED YEARS!
This would be a doubling every 10 years, so we have 70 doublings of the ten million or
10 x 2 to the 70th power = 1.18 × 10 to the 21st power.
Thus we have about 1.18 x 10 to the 22nd power million dollars owed to the Templars since we started with 10 million dollars.
$11 800 000 000 000 000 000 000.00 = Eleven septillion, 800 pentillion dollars.
Wow – since the annual global economy is only about $150 trillion….. I hope the Templars will take a personal check for the rest.
