The modern day pirates that seem to be the scourge of the ocean have hauled in a second incredible booty in a months time, making their take from their superb pirating skills somewhat more than the average person might expect to earn in a normal job.
The MV Faina which is being released by the Somali pirates after almost six months in captivity ends the high seas drama with a serious pay off for the pirates..
who will walk away with a smile about as they count their booty, which is being reported to be $3.2m (£2.2m).
In January, an oil tanker, the Sirius Star, was released after they allegedly received $3m as ransom.
What this means is that the cost of that gets passed along to you in higher prices, and that the pirates of modern times have taken in about six.. yes we said SIX MILLION in just over a month.
Those in the know say that these pirates have been paid about 150 million dollars in ransom in just last year alone.
So.. who is the idiot that says crime doesn’t pay???
