A boat like this, with a VIP on board, should never go on a rescue mission. That's the best way to get boarded and for the VIP to be captured.

So, different rules for the rich? I fail to see how a rescue mission is more likely to get you boarded, with all the attention a mayday will attract.

What a funny comment. Mark’s life is more important than some pleb’s life according to you.

  I believe it is sarcasm.

    I don't but this is the world we live in currently, say something ridiculous, outrageous and then just say "ah I was being sarcastic, or just owning the libs, or telling a joke"

      Ouch, yeah I can't disagree with that observation. I think these times are both: - more aware of each others' behavior (via instant messaging, social media), - and seeing a rise in pseudo-anonymous misbehaviors.

I assume the reverse is also true? Randoms should not attempt to aid or rescue VIPs, only approved agencies/organizations should attempt to intervene. A cargo ship filled with unwashed poors shouldn't be reaching their filthy hands out to rescue a drowning VIP, am I right?

They have so many support vessels and they have a shadow ship there were plenty of resources to help out safely.

A boat like that with a VIP on board is also likely to have heavy security as well. May as well get letters of marque [1][2] and "assist" some pirates and cartel for fun and profit. One EO could enable this.
