So that's it? The money dries up and they take their toys and go home? Someone needs to tell em that's how evil, incorrigible criminals lose their street cred. Now who are the shoot em up crowd supposed to shoot at?

ideally with their small boating skill's building some marina's for visiting yachts would be the way to go

I also hope all the predatory fishing and nuclear waste disposal stop as well...

Sounding a little skeptical here ... don't you think we should give them the benefit of the doubt?

They'll probably be hired by someone who could use their skills on Wall Street.

That way they can charge exorbitant fees and rob people legally.

not sure if i would think it better if they were repenting rather than having made enough money and now finding it less profitable have decided to quit while ahead...

repenting is more like general butt-naked from Liberia who after sacrificing and eating people is now an evangelist !

Going to be a preferred stopover location now to get your refit done. Skilled labor at cheap prices and nice beaches.
