    but this is good

    1. Drugs weren’t the only thing there, and it didn’t just trade the fun mostly harmless ones.

    2. Like actual pirates this guy probably “buried” some treasure and what was a few million back then would be worth a lot more today. Enough to buy a pardon from a corrupt president even.

    3. If trump did it for the reasons he said, he’d have done it in 2017.

        Yes. He paid $730 000 to have five people killed. The only reason those people aren’t dead is that the people who took the money were scammers and cops.
