The article says the pirate ship capsized in heavy seas, but I wonder if the money was also impregnated with some slow acting poison or drug to impair their judgement. Those Russians (who I think brokered the deal, not sure though) don't mess around.

If so, I guess the relatives of the pirate washed ashore, who are now busy drying the money, will soon find out ...

Yarr harr... D'oh!

The body of a Somali pirate who reportedly drowned soon after receiving a huge ransom has washed ashore with $153,000 in his pocket, his uncle says.

The man was one of a group of pirates who seized the Saudi supertanker Sirius Star in November.

They reportedly received $3m (£1.95m) for freeing the tanker but five were said to have drowned after fleeing.

So close, me hearties, but off to Davy Jones' locker you go.
