I assume you can’t go to real court over something like this.

    No, you can’t go to real court. You’re actually kinda getting at something more serious: This is true for all crimes. Especially also drug crimes. That is why the prohibition of drugs causes violent crime: the only way to enforce contracts over illegal drugs is through violence.

      I think US tax department explicitly states that you must state any income you obtained through illegal means in your tax returns.

        Is the implication here that if you don’t state it then you owe back tax on illegal gains when they catch you?

    You get a contract killer to kill your previous contract killer. Duh.

    This is why you go with the assassins guild. They ensure it gets done, because their reputation is on the line.

    Just saying.

    The High Table sends an adjudicator with a special type of haircut. I think the hair style has a name, but I don’t know it.

    there are two legal options for a contract killer: military sharp shooters, and death pentaly executors. Both have options to deal with this. Both have strong limits on what contracts they will take though so probably not what you are asking.

    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.

    John Wick.

    Or maybe the Ian McShane character person…

    Or the adjudicators that made JW an outcast in three (was it?).

    Yes, the adjudicators.

    Since you’re outsourcing this, the adjudicator is either the first contract killer involved, or the second contract killer you specifically hired to deal with that first contract killer.
