#1 Glad they were talked down from $8m to $4m but even that seems a bit steep.

On the other hand, human cargo of 21 plus the chemicals... yeah, maybe $4m sounds about right.

#2 claimed getting $4 million in ransom

"claimed"
well, even if it was $100,000 it was too much. I wouldn't trust their claims - they won't tell you a real low amount because that lowers the market price
