Fee averted, I read it in this guy’s voice.

Nice try.
collects three strips of latinum from you
Hah it was just worthless gold, the latinum is hidden somewhere else entirely.
I’ve got two slips of latinum and a ride token for Galia’s Moon Resort. Will that do?
Internal thoughts cannot be monetized. The flipside of ‘you cannot be sued for copyright infringement for having unoriginal thoughts.’
What about the borg? Can they sue the collective if they have an original thought?
Hmm, the Borg are probably the Ferengi’s worst nightmare. Being a hive mind, they don’t have an economy…which means no profit!
They don’t have what we would recognize as an economy, but they do have resources and are on rare occasions willing to trade them with outsiders. (See: Voyager) I can imagine some particularly risk-inclined ferengi trying to strike a deal. Gives me a “goodlife” from Saberhagen’s Beserkers kind of vibe.
