But really, it's about making sure heads roll because you want to send a message.

Yeah, I was about to say a statement, right?

Yes, which is understandable because if you, a rogue individual who used to work for the Royal Navy, now kind of disenfranchise yourself and run off with your own crew of other kidnapped individuals, who's to say you don't inspire copycats?

And then you create all these international tensions because you're just a man without a flag at that point.

So now you have the joint efforts of the English East India Company and the Royal Navy.

They're all setting sail around the world.

around the world looking for the fancy in anyone else.

Of course, Henry Every being their main target.

Now, there was an enormous bounty for that time of 1,000 British pounds placed on Every's head, but no one was able to claim it because no one ever had factual knowledge of where he went, what happened to the money, in fact.

But just for the sake of conversation, 1,000 British pounds at that time is worth around 250,000 US dollars to this day.

Yeah, I'm keeping my eyes open.

I'm going to be looking.

I'm sure people were turned in left and right.

Like, yeah, yeah, that guy, my neighbor looks like Henry Every.

Right, right.

So the pirates are made aware, right?

They're in the Caribbean.

They're kicking it, but they very quickly scatter.

And it is worth mentioning that some of them were found.

Some of the crew members were found and subsequently executed immediately.
