The too big to fail theory?
If we are going to talk about poachers, we should mention a guy who has spent a lifetime and made millions of dollars doing it.
Also that he has been prosecuted and convicted of tax evasion several times during his over 30 years of poaching, smuggling and stealing.

That's why you just give the boats to former boat owners who couldn't make it.
I bet most of his 45 boats were once owned by honest fishermen.
I wonder how much heroin was smugged in from Russian freighters on his boats too?
