The Somali pirates that seized the Sirius Star got their $3 million ransom by air drop.
The pirates originally wanted more than £16 million to release the boat and its £65 million load of oil. Eventually they accepted the offer of $3million (around £2million).
But as they made off they continued to row about the payout.
'Two of them swam and survived. One is still missing.
The weather was so terrible that it blew the boat over, then sank it.
We got five dead bodies and we are still searching for the missing one. The waves were disastrous,' said Farah Osman, an associate of the gang.
It is not known what happened to the money or those who survived.
After the squabbling gang left the Saudi supertanker its crew were free to move to a safe port.
