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.

...share the loot.

I'm no piratologist but I believe the term is "booty".

Arrr.

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?

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