Somali pirates double down, demand $20M
—Purple Avenger
Hey, when you're surrounded by a bevy of warships with no way out other than in a body bag, why not demand $20M? Heck, go for $200M or even $200B. You got nothing to lose, right?
I'm sure they'll be given $20M and promises of safe passage. Its what I'd do. I'd also turn'em into a fine pink mist at the first opportunity if they're dumb enough to believe such promises.
..."The crew are safe and not harmed; what we are waiting eagerly is the 20 million dollars nothing less, nothing more."Smart: try to slink away in a dinghy in the middle of the night.He also said that "it is true we are surrounded by three foreign military vessels and there are some others we can see from a distance."...
Dumb: try to collect the $20M
This Nigeria scam does not interest me at all but I remember another time.
