Swindler? Con-man?!
I am the Evil Pirate Lawyer. How dare you even think to challenge my knowledge of Piracy Law! You are either completely ignorant of the law, or you are a liar and a con-man yourself. The Pirate Code does not include any restriction to the transfer of treasure which requires the deal to be struck in public. The 'public' aspect of the Code only pertains to the type of services which can be rendered, not the visible nature of the transaction itself:
For someone who claims to be such a strict supporter of The Law, you appear to know relatively little about it.Furthermore, you are allowed to transfer small amounts of treasure between crew members. The caveats to this are that is a maximum 10 treasure per person per day, the transfer must be for services rendered, and the services must be publicly available (in other words, no breaking the game by pooling all of your gold into one source).
Can someone please stab this man already?
