This will be pretty much the state of the whole world in a few years.

A heist is when the goods are stolen without being noticed until after the fact.
Piracy is not a heist.

The Dutch East India company's biggest innovation was instead of begging some king to fund their colonization, they sold shares in the venture to regular people. This is the invention of capitalism.
-
Then they leveraged the state military to increase their profits without paying a dime. And then after going bankrupt they make the state take over their liabilities while squirreling away the profits. This is the refinement of capitalism.

I swear I have seen something that suggested this was something done with classical pirates. Maybe with like privateers or something.
-
Classical pirates often received a letter of Marquis from one of the colonial powers.
They got support and amnesty from one nation if they concentrated their raids on the ships of the other nations.

Seems more honest than conventional stock markets.
Right? I mean there's serious risk there, but there's no pretending. Invest in a pirate, share the loot. Pretty clear and up front.
I'm no piratologist but I believe the term is "booty".
I know we're all joking here, but as an investment the risk isn't the piracy going bad, the risk is that pirates are branching out into a new version of 419 scams (aka Nigerian Prince scam). The pretending could be that the premise is the scam.
Why take the risk of going out in a boat and be shot at when you can get naive and greedy marks to simply sending you their money willingly?
