@thisismissem Right?! The guy ordered a hit on his girlfriend via the dark web and then sent an email to his hitman asking for a tracking number. Staggeringly sociopathic.  @grantly @thisismissem Your "package" has been delivered. This would have been faster with a Prime subscription.  @pepper1700 @grantly @thisismissem Don’t give Bezos any ideas. He’d definitely consider it. Hell, this might even save Twitter. Elon Musk for certain would have no qualms about it.  The idiocy of these supposed brilliant people is mindboggling. Didn't the silk road guy do something similar and also get caught? Also, WFT is a 'normal shooting'? [rhetorical]  @MagentaRocks @molly0xfff the silkroad admin made a really dumb mistake about exposing personal information.  @molly0xfff WAIT WHAT?! The FTX trial took a darker turn? 😬 (Thanks for all the really great FTX coverage) @molly0xfff I don't think anyone's ever thought the FBI had a high tolerance for heinous acts of violence, but I guess it's settled now.  @molly0xfff @uncle_vinny I was going to say, what the FBI would really like would be a monopoly on heinous acts of violence @molly0xfff This is batshit. Also, DOJ press releases are surprisingly floridly written these days. @molly0xfff This is why Wells Fargo is always bugging me to use Zelle when I hire a hitman @molly0xfff@hachyderm.io Fun fact "escrow" sounds like "ecroc" in french ( last c is silent) which means Swindler, crook, fraud ...  @molly0xfff horrifying. I must admit, I’m curious how the FBI found out. Maybe the “hitman” was actually a fed? Or maybe the bank transfers (to buy the cryptocurrency) raised suspicions? @molly0xfff "After speaking with FBI agents, Wan canceled the order on the dark web marketplace." @molly0xfff geez, not even “hits” are denominated in coin units. How do they expect this to ever be main stream if goods and services are not denominated in it. Oh, and what a shitty guy.  @molly0xfff  @molly0xfff at least he could have used a privacy coin like Monero! Jokes aside, it is really terrifying.  I suspect the hit was a scam and the 'administrator' told the FBI. Snitching on the pigeon is less risky than shooting someone. Why did he tell them to take the wallet and car and then make it look like an 'accident'? @molly0xfff The story is vague about whether the hitman was an agent or whether the FBI found out about the hit in some other way. But is $16,000 really all it costs to have someone killed? That’s scary.  @molly0xfff Ah hah ha, I wrote something very similar. It's called A SERIES OF ONE-SIDED CONVERSATIONS. http://gregstolze.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/OneSided.pdf |
@molly0xfff that's fucking terrifying
