They cannot steal your gold. They will ONLY get a gold share if they were onboard when the ship received cargo. It's very rare to get that amount of gold from a plunder run, I've never seen it without double gold. He made that number up to unfuriate you. They don't plunder for gold, they plunder because they're bored kids who want to mess with people and make them mad. Don't feed the bullies.
