> It is not recommended that you take any contract that pays less than $30,000, and that is working mighty cheap. To work for any amount less would be amateurish. There are guys all over town who will kill a man for $50 to $5000. And the people who hire these thugs usually get exactly what they pay for. Replace "kill a man" with "launch a product" and "thugs" with "devs" and you get some surprisingly familiar advice.

  And note, that's $30k in c. 1983, which is ~$90k today according to www.usinflationcalculator.com.

> In 1993, a triple murder was committed in Montgomery County by a man who was alleged to have used this book, Hit Man, as his guide. He was caught and convicted and sentenced to death. Wanting to profit from their loved one's murder, and realizing that the murderer himself was too poor to be worth suing, the family of those killed by the hit man sued Paladin Press, the publisher of the book Hit Man, saying Paladin Press "aided and abetted" the murder. It's harsh to claim that the family "wanted to profit from their loved one's murder". They obviously wanted to hurt everyone who was involved in the murder of the victim. If the publisher thinks they were in the right, they should have blamed the legal system, not the family.

Lmao the files on that site are a crock of shit. >To buy guns, go to a poor area and find a drug dealer. Ask him where you can buy a gun. Don't forget to keep the arms dealer's phone number so you can buy more ammo later All of those files were written by middle class white children. There's literally nothing of value in them.
