Interesting news, and the USA company had “payoff” big time to get it working. With the Power Plant issues yesterday, its worrying how easy things like power and oil can be distrupted.
They just became terrorists…Bad move on their path.
The payoff was a measly 5million. They got lowballed.

You may not be up on modern day piracy. 
That’s hospital records booty not oil pipeline booty. 
I hear they called it quitters.
