    Yeah, this is the right interpretation. Don’t think too deeply about the political motivation behind these scams, there isn’t one. The motivation is that these tankers and container ships are really really big, and they have proportionally sized wallets, and the scammers don’t want to miss the opportunity. The motivation is money and the opportunity is the legitimately confusing environment.

    As humans, we look for patterns in everything, we naturally look for greater meaning in events. And sometimes things are simple and have no greater meaning.
