From my extensive experience in this area (true crime podcasts lol), if your hitman is either quoting a reasonable price or offering a payment plan, they're a cop.

Unless you're in South Africa, in which case you can legitimately walk in to a bar and hire a murderer for a very reasonable price.

And the ones asking for payment up front will enjoy the free money. What, were you going to get a receipt for that?

Seriously man, it's a good price, and I have a plan setup with Affirm for payments, you can spread it out over at least a year.

LMAO ok now you got me curious what consists of a reasonable price? If the guy I was first married to who beat the shit out of me and raped me how much would that be?

Getting kinda specific here...

Edit: really sorry you went through that, but I hope you're not thinking about making a rash decision.

Oh no been through therapy for it and left the state. Was just kind of curious if someone would kill a abuser/rapist at less of a rate than like an ex husband who is well off.

It would all depend on the hired killer. Even the most horrible of people tend to have a 'code' they will follow.

So what is a realistic price in a western country? And what about those darknet hitmans?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

Honestly, anything over 30k wouldn't really be worth it. Way easier to get a nice vacation and some therapy sessions for the same money instead of being that mad at someone.

From what I've heard that also applies to some South American countries. But in any developed country it's basically unthinkable to do something like this without getting caught.
