Personally so glad see this kind of thing; TV and movies have become so very saturated with assassins it's as bad as the zombies and before them vampires. I guess I need to write that zombie assassin script…

Of course, he'd need to be working for the FBI.

Yeah, but they screw it up more often

Gabe, this is selection bias. Sure, you can find all of the hitman plots that end up as federal indictments because it was the FBI. But what about the ones where it wasn't the FBI? You don't know. There could be dozens of us.

Yes, I am aware there is selection bias. I am literally selecting and highlighting these cases. Thank you.

Was just reviewing a case where a woman requested a killer on Craigslist for an international hit. And set up a face-to-face meeting in a cafe. He was undercover FBI. 🤯 Because seriously, which REAL international assassin would be dumb enough to do a in-person meet with a rando from craigslist.

Bonus detail: She inflicted a laptop powerpoint presentation on this poor "assassin"

Whatever her sentence, it was not enough.

So I'm imagining the the Continental hotel for hit men from "the World of John Wick" but everyone there is an FBI agent or informant.

Was the other potential hitman also the FBI?

Isn't that their job or am I missing "context" here....

The context is that nobody wants to help you with your criming. It's always the government.

You’ve never asked _me_, Gabriel.

Ah.... of course I've never tried to hire a hit-man, so that's probably why I didn't catch that little fact. Thx! 😏
