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?
Seems more honest than conventional stock markets.
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’m no piratologist but I believe the term is “booty”.

Arrr.
No, it’s plunder.

The people who usually do that are basically slaves to someone or some org else.
