@@emmanuelmcdaddie5165 Yeah, pirates have existed pretty much as long as boats have and will continue to do so. Just now, instead of swords and flintlocks, they use rifles and machetes. Although how common they are depends on where you are in the world, typically the more impoverished and poor countries have bigger pirate problems.
@emmanuelmcdaddie5165 "Piracy is an act of robbery or criminal violence by ship or boat-borne attackers upon another ship or a coastal area" So the fact that they committed criminal violence via boat makes them pirates. So yes, they exist, you watched a video of them
@@emmanuelmcdaddie5165 Pirates in the sense of Jack Sparrow, no. Not anymore. They still exist, but with a more modern look and modern technology, like automatic weapons. And from what I've heard, they tend to not leave witnesses. But it is strange to think they still do exist in parts of the world.
I disagree with the narrative that the captain was insecure or afraid of pirates and murdered these men as a result. This was straight sadism, for which he thought would go unpunished, and assuming he had any other motive merely dignifies him more than he deserves.
The laughter these men did showed it was for enjoyment. Not because they were insecure (I swear people who overuse this word are stupid) and scared. When they did the firing if they were scared they would have been silent or very tense. These dudes looked like they were playing call of duty.

You conveniently left out “crazed” before “captain”. And paranoia can definitely make you do stupid shit. Not really a “stupid statement” in the slightest.
@@Divoonatam honest to god, i love his content but that sent me over the edge. Feels rotten to even consider equating *potential* drug crimes to ruthlessly executing people for fun. That was a huge missight on Nick's part, in my opinion.
@@Algrenion He has probably seen so much gore he views himself above basic human empathy. But he does make good videos just not necessarily giving the most respect to the victims.
EXACTLY! I just commented something very similar, that actually shocked me that he would even suggest that like... ?? It FURTHER proved they would have been fully docile, and then dude suggests that drugs being on board (coincidentally) matters?
There's no "moral murkiness" at all, it doesn't retroactively become more acceptable to have committed random murders just because it was found out later that drugs were likely involved. The captain and crew would have had no way of knowing that and never once used it as a defense of their actions, strengthening the idea that they had no idea. They would have killed these people regardless.
Not to mention, those people weren't some sort of drug kingpins profiting from the heroin trade. In Middle-Eastern countries, the people that profit from the heroin trade are terrorist organizations. They have slave labor to harvest the Poppy plants, process it into heroin, and distribute it, and the terrorist organization takes all the profit and use it to wage their "holy war", where they ironically kill those that use drugs because it's a "sin". Which means, the people that were transporting those drugs were forced to do it. It makes it even more disturbing that they were killed, they were doing a job that they were forced to do it by terrorists, then killed by proud thugs. Disgusting all around, those men were failed by the world
Exactly, Cause even if they knew they had drugs on board, Now we have to clue where the shit is coming from and who those carriers are working for and their routes to wherever underground mischief are trafficking those drugs for. Which means its an even more clusterfuck either way. As Abe Lincoln would say it (its not exactly about murder but just make it analogous), "Anyone who lies IS guilty of falsehood, And the Accidental truth of that falsehood does not justify or excuse him".
That was my first thought. They were deliberately ramming what appeared to be other fishing vessels, so it doesn't look like much of a stretch to employ another even more direct method of violence to take out the competition.
This case has always infuriated me, the fact that no authorities really bothered looking into it because it happened in open waters just really shows the world we are in.. So much of our society today are just “not my problem” people…
I don't really understand your comment, as someone was identified as the main perpetrator and imprisoned for 26 years. And investigators had to do quite a lot of work to pinpoint the jurisdiction etc. Prior to that, someone brought this video to the attention of many others. Should you be talking about the crews of the ships, it sounds like this captain really abused them into submission. While I understand your sentiment in general, I do not see the trigger in this particular case. Maybe I am missing something, so feel free to educate me if I am.
@@CocoWantsACracker I'm with you. It happening in open waters is definitely part of why it took so long to take action - if they can't figure out who's supposed to be taking legal action, then nobody can take legal action.
I gotta say, that conclusion statement is frankly insulting. "A crazed captain with a crippling fear of pirates" is not how I would begin to defend a crowd of people jeering, taunting and executing people floating helplessly in the water. PMCs on the real coasts of Africa have treated actual pirates better than that.

The world of snuff films is such a scary thing to think about. There’s a Spanish film called “Tésis” which explores the concept in a thrilling way. But thinking about the isolation of the sea being interrupted by merciless killing is so terrifying
I finished the video and *spoiler* The video was sent to her by a person she wants to cover for. We can only assume this is just a peek under the curtain of an illegal network that both produces and commercializes snuff films
A group of psychopaths that use boats for committing crimes at the sea. So they’re the pirates of the history. A different case of serial killers, that happens at the ocean.
Nahhh, even Blackbeard doesn’t kill people, he only intimidates them because he was a smart man not a violent one. He knows how to use his infamy to his advantage so that he won’t have to kill people.
Many pirates of the past didn’t kill. They were officials of different colonial countries. Their objective was to loot every ship and coastal settlement of other colonial countries.
My theory is that the Taiwanese ships were also smuggling drugs and wanted to eliminate competition. I'm also going to make the assumption that the Taiwanese government has some corruption and knows about these activities but they're helping to keep it covered up, so they only charged the captain with murder to give him the smallest punishment possible while also keeping others from digging into these activities.
@@Flanneryschickens Ships of a certain make with a certain look in certain locations exhibiting certain behavior on the water. The odds that the aggressor ships would have, by total happenstance, accidentally targeted ONLY ships doing something covert from a faraway country, such that they wouldn't be reported missing are vanishingly small.
It's really disturbing how the story behind the video is of an unstable captain convinced that pirates were after him and he decided to execute anyone not on the fleet on sight. And it was because someone else decided to film the whole thing that he was eventually caught. But imagine if he wasn't, how many more could've died?
I don't buy that at all. This wasn't paranoia, it was cruelty. They knew they weren't pirates, they thought they were fishing vessels there to compete with them for fish. The "pirate" nonsense was just an excuse.
Nope, that's projection. What's the longest you've spent on a small boat on the open sea in international waters? It's a different world out there, your westernized ideals aren't international.
"I feared for my life" is what all soldiers and cops are trained to say. But it's fun that the guy presenting this video about an absolute murderer went out of his way to defend the murderer, right?
what like 35 men deceased, a serial killer getting 13 years 😂 laughable , even for the 4 men that were on the video, 13 years, incredible how little they value human lives
I read that his sentence was 13 years because they could only prove, without a shadow of doubt, that one of the 4 men was murdered by him (although 13 years is still low for one murder). The rest of the deaths (that were not caught on video) cannot be punished by law, because there is no proof of them (although I have no doubt that they happened). The most infuriating thing is that the rest of the crew were not charged, considering that what can be seen of them in video does not match their stories of "the captain made us do it", it is quite obvious that they were part of what happened, and that they had the same sadistic intentions.
That captain deserves much more than just 13 years it’s sickening what people can do with little to no consequences. If it wasn’t for the people filming, no one would have known these people were murdered.
Yeah, it's wild how people get more years for inconsequential shit but these poor excuses of human beings, actual serial killers, get nothing. What a shit world we live in.

How you expect people to believe you were “shaking” and “hesitating before you shot a man, when there’s literal video proof of you and the rest of your crew cheering after a fresh slaughter??
to my understanding, the story with the "shaking and hesitating" statement was during the nighttime gunning, which isn't the same gunning incident seen in the videos, which took place in daytime. whether or not they were lying though-
I appreciate you bringing this up because even though there's always lots of talk around horrible videos this one has stuck with me especially as there's an everyday kind of evil in people having others suffer casually from standing on higher ground. The shifting narrative really puts you in a tight spot under which circumstance you'd tolerate that behaviour. Because under none you should really, and there were a lot of small hooks to it. This is a reminder that snuff isn't only explicit gore it's also cowardice in opportunism and childish joy in eradication.
They were not pirates. They were fishermen. I came across this video a few years ago. A Chinese or Taiwanese vessel was involved and it’s captain did most of the killings. They rammed the fishermen’s boat. And while they were executed one after the other, they begged for their lives to be spared. They screamed “No pirates! No pirates!!!”
This video had me so sad. Then imagine the fear of being lost at sea and then the relief.When you see a bow thinking , they're going to help you and you just end up being murdered....just heartbreaking
its genuinely the scariest thing ever. it somewhat reminds me of a gang rape case that went viral in germany last year, where the victim was drunk and got gangraped and robbed, then when she searched for help and stumbled across two men, they just assaulted her again. its so scary how some people see people in need and decide to be so sadistic and cruel about it. the men and boys involved only got probation btw, with one or two receiving a couple years of jail, and some getting away with no punishment because they were holding the camera and "their dna wasnt found". humanity is full of sht
Cant really do shit unless you know their names. And we only know the identity of the captain, the rest of the crew is unknown. Not much justice that can be done.
This sort of thing is unbelievably common, as sad as it is. People disappear constantly, and this is one of those many ways. For every mysterious disappearance you know about, there’s at bare minimum ten more who didn’t get reported.
"the victims may have been smuggling drugs" okay? literally who cares if that's what they were doing? how does that detract from the fact they were ruthlessly slaughtered with no reason? even if anyone thought that is a just response to smuggling drugs, how the hell would the crew of those ships, who shot them to death, would KNOW they were committing ANY crime? it's beyond me that anyone might think that *the victims POTENTIALLY being drug smugglers makes the events of that day morally "murky"
Yeah and also let's not forget a lot of people are driven to do those kinds of work when they're poor, there's a reason why people are in these kinds of jobs so often because people dont have any other choice
@@seriousnesstv7902 Exactly, it's completely incongruent to everything that was being said the whole video. It's like he wrote the conclusion after only watching the original youtube video.
Bruh my uncle was a ship crew. His ship got shot by Taiwanese coast guard. The captain didn't stop their ship when they were told to. So the coast guard thought they were smuggler and shot at it until it sink and left. Only 3 people alive by the time someone rescue them. From my point of view, the trial is only for saving face. There is no law in the ocean. I got so many stories more.

@@chiphonnotcake The KMT has always been pretty secretive with their actions, including their talks of so-called "reunification" with the mainland. They've been in cahoots with the CCP for quite some time now, which means the mainland government is willing to side with a rightwing party (KMT).
I remember seeing this video like 8 years ago. Definitely was left in my memory and always wondered about the backgrounds. Feels very good to finally have a revelation
Exactly, this is only “morally ambiguous” if you genuinely think that drug smuggling should get you executed, which is absolutely insane. These are just heartless murders, with zero ambiguity
Not to mention that these "drug smugglers" were likely just heavily impoverished peoples being exploited by cartels. There very likely wasn't much of a choice given to them in the matter

I'd edit out that morally murky line. Nothing about shooting unarmed individuals after you smashed their boat is morally gray. This is the behavior of a psychopath, not some fisherman who's worried about pirates.
It’s not even 100% confirmed that every attacked vessel had drugs on it either. The only thing bringing up the theory does is give a reason as to why those vessels were in international waters to begin with. But regardless of why those ships were in those waters, it doesn’t change the fact that the captain’s actions (and the actions of the laughing crew) were wrong. Those small ships could be carrying a crew full of Hitlers and it’d still be wrong, there’s no justification for what they did.
- *people being executed by cheering men* People on the internet: Ah yes, the executed people were the pirates and the executioners were just doing this in self-defence :)
@@jablanbukvovski You think they wouldn't be cheering as they gunned you down? If pirates board my ship, they attacked me first.

Im a vietnamese and i'm 100% sure one of them is a VIETNAMESE. The way they said 'lại gần đây quay' which means 'come close to take a video' made me sick. This video is not popular in Vietnam. How can a vietnamese do that
Oh god this infamous video of the fishing boat it’s so disturbing. I remembering sawing it on reignnbot channel and how she talked about this event is so disturbing. It’s also weird how nobody would’ve knew this thing happen if someone didn’t leave their phone behind in a taxi
Actually the person who uploaded the video admitted that it was sent to her by a friend. She did not discover the video on a random phone the back of a taxi cab, she merely claimed she did to protect her friend. Upon further investigation, it was revealed that the freind who sent her the film was a collector/distributor of snuff films, as they had many other violent videos in their possession.
@jhonklan3794 If what you've stated is true? Then, is it the biggest leap to say these murders were committed for profit? Recording the footage to sell for seedy entertainment. Edit: Ah, as the video suggests lol I should watch the whole vid before commenting in future.
@@jhonklan3794 I don't think her friend deserved protection I'll be honest. She collects horrific content then protects the people who made them, imagine how much swifter justice would've been and how many countless lives would've been saved had the friend turned over her source to the police, or had the person who uploaded the video done the same.
28:28 HORRIBLE take. There is NOTHING “morally murky” about what those Taiwanese fishermen did. It doesn’t matter AT ALL that the small boat was carrying drugs. That does absolutely NOTHING to justify their horrific slaughter at the hands of the Taiwanese gang. What a shameful sentence to have written in your script, and spoken out loud. I’m disgusted. Shame on you.
The captain gets 13 years in prison for approximately 35 murders at sea--that's not long enough. And none of the other crew were held accountable. These four men were helpless and unarmed fishermen. How horrific! 😱
glad to finally know more about this case as I've seen the first video brought up many times in many videos but this is the most in depth I've seen anyone go into it.

I’m Iranian, and the rabbit hole became very interesting to me towards the end. In the rural and border areas in south of the country, these criminal activities are usual and in many cases, government empowered. Unfortunately, due to the dictatorship and corruption in the Islamic government of the county, these hardworking people are sometimes forced to do dark jobs like this. When you look at the concept, it’s sad. I’m a fan of both Nexpo and Nick, and this one video just hit too close to home :) Keep up the good work.
Thanks for this. I’ve always been interested in this video since I saw it on another RUclipsrs account 8 years ago. It amazes me how so many other people haven’t talked about this story on RUclips. I’m happy they at least got one, Wang Feng Yu (even if his sentence was soft) Wild video!
Wow I knew about this up to "it's international waters, nothing can be done." You have amazing follow through and I'd sub if I wasn't already. Both you and Nexpo, great coverage
It’s absolutely insane that a country like Taiwan, which from what I’ve read has very strict laws, would only sentence the captain to 13 years. There’s a special place in hell for someone who kills in cold blood.
More conclusive to say it was a paranoid captain? That's the dumbest reason I could possible think of. Mass killing 2 times because of paranoia? These people obviously was not sad about finding out the people was simple fishermen
Exactly, Crowley's conclusion makes no sense, unless it's assumed Nick is an absolute retard, based on not updating his pfp pic without a mask, I think stupidity is a good bet.
Because the captain and his crew were a bunch of pirates themselves, eliminating potential competitors would technically always be better for them in the long run since crimes committed in the vast ocean are hardly ever investigated and even if they are the actual chance of the culprit getting caught is next to nil. Besides it's heavily implied that the killing of those 4 unfortunate men was part of a snuff film attempt to earn more cash, so they were essentially killing two birds with one stone by choosing to kill those poor souls
It's worth noting that the Captain was Chinese, and China has the largest international fishing fleet in the world. This is not likely to be an isolated incident.
The crew was from different places. At the end, the boats and the company that hired that man was from Taiwan and also was Taiwan who gave such a low sentence. The nationality is the least of your concerns when there are 4 ships full with different nationalities. The issue here is who hired them in the first place.
The article linked in the description is really interesting! I recommend the read, specially Von Hoesslin talk with the captain of the ship, and it gives more insight on the possible reason for the killings. Very interesting story, great video, thanks for sharing.
I've watched a lot of internet mystery videos about strange content and wondered what this one would be about. As soon as I saw the ocean I sadly knew what was coming.....

And from what I've heard, they tend to not leave witnesses. But it is strange to think they still do exist in parts of the world.
I disagree with the narrative that the captain was insecure or afraid of pirates and murdered these men as a result. This was straight sadism, for which he thought would go unpunished, and assuming he had any other motive merely dignifies him more than he deserves.
Exactly. This was done out of enjoyment!
@@huks9380 we literally see that in the videos.
The laughter these men did showed it was for enjoyment. Not because they were insecure (I swear people who overuse this word are stupid) and scared. When they did the firing if they were scared they would have been silent or very tense. These dudes looked like they were playing call of duty.

@@JudyBopps-rj8rmNobody has been sentenced to life for simple possession.
There's no "moral murkiness" at all, it doesn't retroactively become more acceptable to have committed random murders just because it was found out later that drugs were likely involved. The captain and crew would have had no way of knowing that and never once used it as a defense of their actions, strengthening the idea that they had no idea. They would have killed these people regardless.
Not to mention, those people weren't some sort of drug kingpins profiting from the heroin trade. In Middle-Eastern countries, the people that profit from the heroin trade are terrorist organizations. They have slave labor to harvest the Poppy plants, process it into heroin, and distribute it, and the terrorist organization takes all the profit and use it to wage their "holy war", where they ironically kill those that use drugs because it's a "sin". Which means, the people that were transporting those drugs were forced to do it. It makes it even more disturbing that they were killed, they were doing a job that they were forced to do it by terrorists, then killed by proud thugs. Disgusting all around, those men were failed by the world
I thought that when I heard that bit. Its completely irrelevant to them being slaughtered in cold blood
Not to glaze but he did say in the video, that they would’ve been killed anyway since they had no way of knowing they had drugs
@@Die217 Then why say that it makes it morally murky. It doesn't. At all.
Exactly, Cause even if they knew they had drugs on board, Now we have to clue where the shit is coming from and who those carriers are working for and their routes to wherever underground mischief are trafficking those drugs for.
Which means its an even more clusterfuck either way. As Abe Lincoln would say it (its not exactly about murder but just make it analogous),
"Anyone who lies IS guilty of falsehood, And the Accidental truth of that falsehood does not justify or excuse him".
I don't think they thought they were pirates, I think it was all about removing competition

They were deliberately ramming what appeared to be other fishing vessels, so it doesn't look like much of a stretch to employ another even more direct method of violence to take out the competition.

I don't really understand your comment, as someone was identified as the main perpetrator and imprisoned for 26 years. And investigators had to do quite a lot of work to pinpoint the jurisdiction etc. Prior to that, someone brought this video to the attention of many others. Should you be talking about the crews of the ships, it sounds like this captain really abused them into submission.
While I understand your sentiment in general, I do not see the trigger in this particular case. Maybe I am missing something, so feel free to educate me if I am.
And yet when U.S. military men commit the same atrocities no one cares...
@@CocoWantsACracker I'm with you. It happening in open waters is definitely part of why it took so long to take action - if they can't figure out who's supposed to be taking legal action, then nobody can take legal action.

"A crazed captain with a crippling fear of pirates" is not how I would begin to defend a crowd of people jeering, taunting and executing people floating helplessly in the water.

The world of snuff films is such a scary thing to think about. There’s a Spanish film called “Tésis” which explores the concept in a thrilling way. But thinking about the isolation of the sea being interrupted by merciless killing is so terrifying

Facts 💯
Even a lot of the yo-ho type pirates weren't this bad. . .
Pirates back then were way more ruthless but either way everything mentioned in the video is beyond fucked
Nahhh, even Blackbeard doesn’t kill people, he only intimidates them because he was a smart man not a violent one. He knows how to use his infamy to his advantage so that he won’t have to kill people.
Many pirates of the past didn’t kill. They were officials of different colonial countries. Their objective was to loot every ship and coastal settlement of other colonial countries.
My theory is that the Taiwanese ships were also smuggling drugs and wanted to eliminate competition. I'm also going to make the assumption that the Taiwanese government has some corruption and knows about these activities but they're helping to keep it covered up, so they only charged the captain with murder to give him the smallest punishment possible while also keeping others from digging into these activities.
But how would they have known those boats were competition? Makes no sense

@@Flanneryschickens Ships of a certain make with a certain look in certain locations exhibiting certain behavior on the water.

It's really disturbing how the story behind the video is of an unstable captain convinced that pirates were after him and he decided to execute anyone not on the fleet on sight. And it was because someone else decided to film the whole thing that he was eventually caught. But imagine if he wasn't, how many more could've died?
If you finish watching the video the story of the taxi isn’t true
There are probably more out there. They just aren't filming it.
I don't buy that at all. This wasn't paranoia, it was cruelty. They knew they weren't pirates, they thought they were fishing vessels there to compete with them for fish. The "pirate" nonsense was just an excuse.

@@anjetto1PREACH BROTHER!
what like 35 men deceased, a serial killer getting 13 years 😂 laughable , even for the 4 men that were on the video, 13 years, incredible how little they value human lives
I read that his sentence was 13 years because they could only prove, without a shadow of doubt, that one of the 4 men was murdered by him (although 13 years is still low for one murder). The rest of the deaths (that were not caught on video) cannot be punished by law, because there is no proof of them (although I have no doubt that they happened).
The most infuriating thing is that the rest of the crew were not charged, considering that what can be seen of them in video does not match their stories of "the captain made us do it", it is quite obvious that they were part of what happened, and that they had the same sadistic intentions.
That captain deserves much more than just 13 years it’s sickening what people can do with little to no consequences. If it wasn’t for the people filming, no one would have known these people were murdered.
He ought to receive one of the old school maritime punishments.
Yeah, it's wild how people get more years for inconsequential shit but these poor excuses of human beings, actual serial killers, get nothing. What a shit world we live in.

The shifting narrative really puts you in a tight spot under which circumstance you'd tolerate that behaviour. Because under none you should really, and there were a lot of small hooks to it. This is a reminder that snuff isn't only explicit gore it's also cowardice in opportunism and childish joy in eradication.
They were not pirates. They were fishermen. I came across this video a few years ago. A Chinese or Taiwanese vessel was involved and it’s captain did most of the killings. They rammed the fishermen’s boat. And while they were executed one after the other, they begged for their lives to be spared. They screamed “No pirates! No pirates!!!”

Did you even watch the video? Why would they think they are getting help from the crews responsible for sinking their ships??
its genuinely the scariest thing ever. it somewhat reminds me of a gang rape case that went viral in germany last year, where the victim was drunk and got gangraped and robbed, then when she searched for help and stumbled across two men, they just assaulted her again. its so scary how some people see people in need and decide to be so sadistic and cruel about it. the men and boys involved only got probation btw, with one or two receiving a couple years of jail, and some getting away with no punishment because they were holding the camera and "their dna wasnt found". humanity is full of sht

"the victims may have been smuggling drugs"
okay? literally who cares if that's what they were doing? how does that detract from the fact they were ruthlessly slaughtered with no reason?
even if anyone thought that is a just response to smuggling drugs, how the hell would the crew of those ships, who shot them to death, would KNOW they were committing ANY crime?
it's beyond me that anyone might think that *the victims POTENTIALLY being drug smugglers makes the events of that day morally "murky"

Great video! Finally, the whole story!
I'd edit out that morally murky line. Nothing about shooting unarmed individuals after you smashed their boat is morally gray. This is the behavior of a psychopath, not some fisherman who's worried about pirates.
It’s not even 100% confirmed that every attacked vessel had drugs on it either. The only thing bringing up the theory does is give a reason as to why those vessels were in international waters to begin with.
But regardless of why those ships were in those waters, it doesn’t change the fact that the captain’s actions (and the actions of the laughing crew) were wrong. Those small ships could be carrying a crew full of Hitlers and it’d still be wrong, there’s no justification for what they did.

@@Jacob_the_Dabblernah he small bruh like there is 8 whole billion people on the earth and he can’t even get 0.1% to care about him 😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏

@Jacob_the_Dabbler Dummie, I'm talking about him blowing up around 2018. 😏
You know it’s gonna be a good day when Nick posts a new video
Shooting unarmed ppl that are swimming cannot be self defense, don't even suggest such a thing.
Thanks for this. I’ve always been interested in this video since I saw it on another RUclipsrs account 8 years ago. It amazes me how so many other people haven’t talked about this story on RUclips. I’m happy they at least got one, Wang Feng Yu (even if his sentence was soft) Wild video!
Wow I knew about this up to "it's international waters, nothing can be done." You have amazing follow through and I'd sub if I wasn't already. Both you and Nexpo, great coverage
It’s absolutely insane that a country like Taiwan, which from what I’ve read has very strict laws, would only sentence the captain to 13 years. There’s a special place in hell for someone who kills in cold blood.
I've been rewatching your older videos for this
First found you through your randonautica video and haven't missed one since, feels like yesterday!
Now imagine the THOUSANDS of deaths that happen at sea that aren’t recorded.
More conclusive to say it was a paranoid captain? That's the dumbest reason I could possible think of. Mass killing 2 times because of paranoia? These people obviously was not sad about finding out the people was simple fishermen
Exactly, Crowley's conclusion makes no sense, unless it's assumed Nick is an absolute retard, based on not updating his pfp pic without a mask, I think stupidity is a good bet.
They didnt want the competition in "their" fishing waters
Did you even watch the video in full? They were drug smugglers. Killed by a paranoid captain, yes. But drug smugglers.
Because the captain and his crew were a bunch of pirates themselves, eliminating potential competitors would technically always be better for them in the long run since crimes committed in the vast ocean are hardly ever investigated and even if they are the actual chance of the culprit getting caught is next to nil. Besides it's heavily implied that the killing of those 4 unfortunate men was part of a snuff film attempt to earn more cash, so they were essentially killing two birds with one stone by choosing to kill those poor souls
Thanks Nicholas & Nexpo,
You guys post amazing content...kudos
All the best
That's the thing about this type of evil. They laugh while they do it. I've seen it many times. Prepare. This type of evil is out there.
Yeah, disgusting. No motive is even needed. They were clearly doing it for "fun".
If those guys with the drugs were cought, they would've been sentenced for life, but killing dozens of people yields a 13 year sentence, makes sense.
I'm not 100% sure but I think drugs smuggling is a death sentence in Iran.
It's worth noting that the Captain was Chinese, and China has the largest international fishing fleet in the world. This is not likely to be an isolated incident.
The captain was from Taiwan not China
@@NewBambooCity Not just the captain, the vessels were Taiwanese owned and flagged
And Chinese or not, it was Taiwan's justice system that failed these innocent victim.
@mats0o350 a justice system that is notorious for sentencing drug dealers to death.
The crew was from different places. At the end, the boats and the company that hired that man was from Taiwan and also was Taiwan who gave such a low sentence.
The nationality is the least of your concerns when there are 4 ships full with different nationalities. The issue here is who hired them in the first place.
The article linked in the description is really interesting! I recommend the read, specially Von Hoesslin talk with the captain of the ship, and it gives more insight on the possible reason for the killings.
Very interesting story, great video, thanks for sharing.
Always excited when you post
I almost forgot about that video. Saw it back in the day. Glad I know more of the backstory now.
i love the fact you and Nexpo have become friends! You both do so well on your videos, especially in editing and other video work. Great job!
I've watched a lot of internet mystery videos about strange content and wondered what this one would be about. As soon as I saw the ocean I sadly knew what was coming.....
It’s not “morally murky”. Even drug runners shouldn’t be summarily executed.
The crew on board were the real pirates all along. Im certain at least a third of these people knew they were normal fishermen and still opened fire
I'm a simple girl... I see a Nick Crowley upload, I watch...
I see it's feat. Nexpo, I click even faster. I'm new here, so I get to enjoy everything for the first time.
