Yeah, only problem is that they just spend the money for their own luxury. Of course people are happy that at least someone is bringing money to the country, but it's not like the pirates are giving it to the poor or something like that. And in corrupt systems money is often used to "buy" people and therefore power... |
I just wonder how do they actually get paid ? I mean they cant really accept a wire transfer:1orglaugh

"And when the payday comes, the money sometimes literally falls from the sky. Pirates say the ransom arrives in burlap sacks, sometimes dropped from buzzing helicopters, or in waterproof suitcases loaded onto tiny skiffs in the roiling, shark-infested sea. "The oldest man on the ship always takes the responsibility of collecting the money, because we see it as very risky, and he gets some extra payment for his service later," Aden Yusuf, a pirate in Eyl, told AP over VHF radio. The pirates use money-counting machines ? the same technology seen at foreign exchange bureaus worldwide ? to ensure the cash is real. All payments are done in cash because Somalia, a failed state, has no functioning banking system. " |

I don't get it either. They know the location of the hyacked ship(s) Send some of the best miltary teams there by ship/helicopter, and kill those mofo's.
