I may be wrong here.

What does an arbitrarily powerful entity need with(a starship) $5? $5 once won't break me but it sets a president you should never negotiate with terrorist as though they are playing a fair game you should have a probability of this being a lie scale faster than the claim. Including the possibility that they'll do it any way even if you relent or they will make the same demand over until you have nothing to pay them with.
