Is it just me, or does $8k seem like a really small amount of money for hiring a hitman? Did they have a coupon?
- 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
  
  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
- I’m not sure where you’re shopping but both are the same price where I order my hitmen from
  
  If you don't have homegrown hitmen, store bought is fine.
- I mean accident may also be simultaneously easier as there’s much less heat on the (hypothetical) hit man
- Seems like you know a lot about this subject...
