Well, that’s true, we really don’t know anything.

But aside from the logistical problems of holding that many hostages, no pirate in his right mind would think of demanding ransom from the Chinese government (most of the passengers were Chinese). I believe the Chinese recently destroyed a boatload of pirates in the China Sea.
