The Somali pirates are very sophisticated. They have spies in the insurance and shipping companies to help figure out what ships to raid, and they have a stock exchange where folks can buy shares of the profits for equipping pirates, etc.
In a sane society, this would not do them any good, because their coast line would be scorched ruins, and their boats sunk, but for some screwy reason we don’t deal with pirates properly any more.
