IO Interactive's Hitman franchise has been known for its deft combination of operatic drama and goofy hijinks, but it also has a healthy sense of self-awareness. The series has a long history of turning its own expectations on their heads, and the third entry in the rebooted trilogy is no exception. From exploding golf balls to the secret ending, there are plenty of twists and turns that reward fans of the franchise. In the last decade, the rise of the dark web has fed an assumption that marketplaces for death and assassination are booming. Those sites use encryption to allow both sides of an online interaction to hide their identity and location from each other and law enforcement. But a team of researchers at Michigan State University says the sites are mostly just scams. In fact, they're exposing users to danger and may even put their lives in jeopardy. The paper, published in the journal Science of Crime and Justice, examined 20 "hit-man for hire" websites and found most of them are operated by unlicensed assassins who operate out of basements or garages and charge hundreds of dollars per job. They advertise their services through social media, Craigslist and other channels. Some promote their business with slick videos that show professional killers at work, and some tout testimonials from satisfied customers. But a review of the testimonials reveals most are fake and that the people who provide them are mostly family members, friends or acquaintances who hired someone to kill their loved ones. The most common reason for contract killing is to terminate an intimate relationship, such as a marriage that's not going well or an infidelity that's not being addressed. Other reasons include revenge or retribution. In some cases, the person killed is an associate or employee of the client and there is an established business relationship between the two parties. In these situations, the client often has a legal right to have the person killed and pays for the service in cash or cryptocurrency, such as Bitcoin. Another common method for hiring an assassin is to send a letter asking the person to be killed. In this case, the assassin may be an acquaintance or a family member who has a legal right to have the person murdered and pays for the service in cash or cryptocurrency. In some cases, the assassin is a member of organized crime or an army of freelance killers recruited to execute orders from the government or a dictatorship. poison says his website has received more than 400 requests to have people killed since it launched in 2013. He says he will only contact police when a person fills out the form and explicitly asks for a hit man to be hired. He has referred some of those requests to police, including a prankster who asked for his friend to be killed in Michigan. That prompted police to send a trooper to the woman's home, posing as a hit man, to arrest her.
