Great idea. As we see in the movies, all the time, take some of the crap money we get from North Korea or China, run it in the dryer for a bit to fluff it up, give it to these a$$holes. Give them gas to get home and a "Safe Passage Home Certificate" and all the rest.
Once they release the Captain, then totally "splash" the a$$holes in the boat. The Indian Ocean fish need more food, bitter as it might be.
Darwin would be proud, in spite of Zer0 and Mrs. Clinton not knowing how to pull either of their respective (sic) heads out of their a$$es.
After all, it's not as if they have equipment onboard the lifeboat to test the veracity of bills provided to them. And, if the bills are marked...who knows, perhaps the CIA could aide in international tracking of perps.
But, what the heck....I'm no expert in such matters.
