Well, he'd have to admit that unleashing the Rathars on Prana or Regent Solculvis would probably solve his problem.
In fact, it kind of reminded him of the time he repaid Ploovo Two-for-one for a loan that seemed to keep arbitrarily accruing interest every time he got close to paying it off. He ended up attaching a credit voucher to an ornery Dinko and placing it in a case for that small-time hustler to find. The look on his face when it chomped down on his thumb was worth every credit.
But the clear difference is that a Dinko isn't going to do any lasting damage to a person or their property. Rathars will.
Maybe a little time observing the Captain and the way he conducts business will help change the way he thinks. He can hope as much, anyway.
"A portion of the money will get us supplies for the next run, so we can choose our next job rather than take whatever we can get." That's the part he can see his son respecting and supporting. "The bulk of it, though, I want to divide up and send to the families of my crew."
