jonny (nonvenomous)hiring a hitman is a complicated game theory problem because the hitman always has the option of just taking the money and calling the cops. you have to convince them that you are capable of hiring another hitman to come after the first hitman, but the very act of trying to hire the first hitman indicates that you don't have a second, more reliable hitman ready to go. so i guess the moral of the story is don't be a landlord. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-05-07/landlord-sentenced-20-years-in-prison-in-murder-for-hire-plots
Adlangx@jonny Seems like being a hitman pays the bills and you can always flip and do little time.
@lightninhopkins aha but if you flip every time then you burn your reputation as a hitman, and each time you run the risk of getting whacked yourself if the other person is indeed capable of hiring a real hitman. high risk, sort of medium to low reward
@jonny Ahh, but no one would suspect the hitman that flipped to ever get hired again. Camouflage.
