Is it just me, or does $8k seem like a really small amount of money for hiring a hitman? Did they have a coupon?

[-] Gigan@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

People are dumb. I've seen cop shows where they pay the "hitman" $500-$2K for a hit.

If some enterprising disruptor startup started doing hits for $500, we’d solve the traffic problems in LA and the Bay Area in less than a week.

That seems about right if the hitman is local, it's a small area, and they're just starting out. You get that word of mouth advertising going then you can start charging a higher rate, charging for travel, and making a real living.

New customer discount, you know how these online services are nowadays

[-] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

That's how they get you.

Reading the source, it appears that 8k was only a 50% downpayment:

Wan then electronically transferred a 50% downpayment of approximately $8,000 worth of Bitcoin to the dark web marketplace.

Probably a Groupon

So was this a sting? I’m not sure how he didn’t realize something was off when “accident” and “normal shooting” were the same price

[-] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 34 points 1 year ago

I’m not sure where you’re shopping but both are the same price where I order my hitmen from

[-] Afghaniscran@feddit.uk 17 points 1 year ago

If you don't have homegrown hitmen, store bought is fine.

I’ve always been more of a “boutique” hit man experience connoisseur myself

[-] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

Well you would be... CIA bot

[-] CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Love what you do, and you’ll never work a day in your life!

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

We're not buying hitman, we have hitmen at home.

[-] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Hitmen at home 🔫

[-] Supervivens@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

I mean accident may also be simultaneously easier as there’s much less heat on the (hypothetical) hit man

[-] essteeyou@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Seems like you know a lot about this subject...
