Wait, this actually works?!
- capableweb 5y agoYes, you can pay people and have them murder others. Some do it on a grand scale even (Academi/Blackwater/Xe Services). Same goes for a bunch of other taboo/illegal things, you have the right amount of money, anything is possible.
- taylorfinley 5y agoThe article says the FBI intervened before the hit was executed. They were apparently tipped off by the BBC. It's far more likely, in my opinion, that a BBC source would disclose his scam taking bitcoins from would-be hirerers of contract killers, than it is that an actual hitman would have bad enough opsec that the BBC would be the ones to discover his clients.
- whymauri 5y agoKinda crazy. Most DarkWeb 'hitman' sites were just FBI honeypots or good samaritans reporting sketchy individuals to the FBI. I doubt this guy found the services through the 'dark web' or even the Internet. Probably met them through personal connections.
