Hmmmm...think there'd be much objection to a coup d'etat?
People have tried it. Then "King Roy" came back with a Helicopter, a few willing subjects and a big stack of guns. He doesn't even like fishing boats near it, now, apparently. Some people have no sense of humour...
Personally, I'm going to wait for the hollowed-out volcano with the monorail system. Once I've dressed the flying monkeys in yellow jumpsuits and white hardhats, only an army of ninjas could possibly stop me!
Actually, that old platform is quite close to my current lair. If you can all scrape together the "eight figure sum" for it, why, I'd be more than happy to row over there and make a bid for you.
Send the big pile of cash (in used notes) to Bob Flyingmonkey, care of Mr. L. C. Denom...
