3 people.
Ahab has 2 pieces of gold. The other two people want some of their own. They are "wanters"
Ahab loans each "wanter" a piece of gold with interest payable in gold…and the payoff for doing so is that the "wanters" can meet the costs to go find more gold to meet the debt payment to Ahab.
Ahab finishes with more gold returned to him. The "wanters" now have their own gold and can self-fund costs to go find some more.
This is all assuming there are no local sales taxes, no racketeer costs, no liability insurance or environmental reclamation costs, no federal tax, no payroll tax, no accountancy or lawyer consultancy, no licensing or qualification/tuition costs and no alimony payments.
