Quite a misleading title. From what i read, this is absolutely nothing like eBay. It's more like a stock exchange. It's a place where gangs of pirates can receive funding for their exploits from outside investors.
"Offline ebay for pirates" suggests to me an auction house to sell stolen wares, but this isn't what the article is about at all.
- aaronz3 17y agoAgreed, interesting article but horribly inaccurate title. I'm not sure if the poster was intentionally inaccurate or if he just badly misread the article.
- DTrejo 17y agoIt seems almost like a "pooled stock" from what I read: you invest in all the pirates at once, then make money when any one of them makes money. Maybe I just didn't read carefully enough.
