      Right? I mean there’s serious risk there, but there’s no pretending. Invest in a pirate, share the loot. Pretty clear and up front.

        I know we’re all joking here, but as an investment the risk isn’t the piracy going bad, the risk is that pirates are branching out into a new version of 419 scams (aka Nigerian Prince scam). The pretending could be that the premise is the scam.

        Why take the risk of going out in a boat and be shot at when you can get naive and greedy marks to simply sending you their money willingly?

      What do you mean? That’s literally how the world’s been for long. Investing in Somali pirates is not any different from investing in Tesla or Meta

          What a noob question. That’s the wrong question. You should be asking how to diversify your raider portfolio. If you invest your money on shit-pirates and lose your ass, you’ll have no one to blame but yourself.

          Go heavy on Somalia, the big ones are there for sure. But don’t sleep on Indonesia or Nigeria. If the leaders sporting an AK, ask yourself “what kind of bling did the pirate leader add to his AK?” . Watch out for ‘gold’ AKs, a lot of wannabes paint theirs.
