Seems to go for less than $100K USD, which surprised me (source is Australian though http://edition.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/asiapcf/02/05/australia.killings.offbeat.reut/index.html http://edition.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/asiapcf/02/05/australia.ki...)

Using blockchains like Bitcoin for crime is far beyond stupid.
