I assume you can’t go to real court over something like this.
I read somewhere it’s actually more common for a hired killer to turn the person who hired them into the police than for them to actually do the job.
In that same article, it said the average payment for a contract killer is less than $5000. So maybe if you’re gonna hire a contract killer, you should not cheap out and get the one that requires a million dollars, with payment only on the death of the victim.
I heard of some kid who made bank setting up a hitman website on the TOR network and accepting payment in Bitcoin. He just handed over the information straight to the police and kept the bitcoin.
There’s a website set up by a white-hat hacker to solicit work as a network penetrator. It has some odd name that’s assassin related (contractkiller.com or something similar, I can’t remember offhand). He set it up, and forgot about it. When he went back to it, a lot of the messages were people asking him to kill someone.
He sent all the info to the police, and left the website up. Now it’s just a honeypot for people trying to have someone killed. I visited it a while ago, it’s very tongue-in-cheek. But people are stupid and willing to believe anything.
