    Average estimated dollar amount per ransom collected by pirates from 2007-2012 was $ 2.7 million, totalling nearly $ 339 million.

    Damn... that is some decent cash. No wonder they do it, risky as it is..

        Yep, 2.7 million PER kidnapping/ransom is insane. I think the times are changing though, a lot more policing going on now.
