Besides how do you sell 2 million barrels of oil on the black market. The pirates would need some way to unload all the oil and a buyer for it. They're screwed as it is. What are they going to do with the ship, take it to a chop shop? It's not like you can't see that thing from space.
Hope they enjoy it while it last cause I'll bet most of them won't live to do it again.
OO.
They know they can't sell the Oil, and they can't refine it anyway...instead, they hold the ship, cargo, and crewmembers for ransom. Really, it's brilliant. That country literally runs on ransom dollars.
