Yep. One of the big things I read was multiple notices telling them not to get within 200 miles of the Somali coast or something like that, and Phillips had them like 150 miles out for most of the ride, completely ignoring what was best for his crew. And they supposedly all agreed they wouldn't talk about what happened, then as soon as they get back on land Phillips starts talking.
