I read this today checking out the market and all i can say is wow. These pirates are smart. They are bringing income into their towns by raiding rich peoples boats and ships. This reminds me of a story, robinhood esque. At the same time, im sure, gaining support from the locals.

I know killing people is bad, but do we really understand their agenda, what is going on here? Who is running this group and teaching them how to create an exchange market?

I wonder if any of their leaders have been educated by western universities?

Wouldn't surprise me a bit if they were, as we have our own brand of pirates (and not the kind that like to download free movies).
