With friends like @PeteWisdom, who needs enemies?
With all seriousness, I have spoken to a number of shareholders who are surprisingly close to the pirates and have invested significant amounts with them. Some of these shareholders still believe the BS the pirates are spinning and refuse to believe their "close friends" would do this to them. With this in mind, I think the lower level pirates who are standing closest to the plank seriously need to ask themselves "If the McAuliffes are willing to do this to people this close to them, what are they willing to do to me? Am I as safe as I think I am? Can I trust them?"
