A COFFIN MAKER in North Sumatra who sold a meteorite that smashed through his roof for 200 million rupiah (RM57,960) found out later that he could have received 100 times the sum as the space rock is actually worth around US$1.85mil (RM7.57mil).
Joshua Hutagalung said he felt “cheated” after selling the rock to United States meteorite expert Jared Collins for a much cheaper price than its true value, refuting reports from foreign media that had painted him as a sudden multimillionaire after making the sale.
