    Was he convicted for that? Was it just the excuse they used to “catch” him?

      My understanding is that it never went to trial as they didn’t have enough to build a case on, and because he was already expected to be in prison for the rest of his life, anyway.

      I wonder if they’ll re-open this investigation now.

        Read what you wrote again. You really are pondering if they will reopen an investigation that they didn’t have a case good enough to procecute. How many people died in these “alleged hired murderes” fucking zero, because it was trumped up bullshit.

          Whether or not one is successful is not what determines a murder-for-hire case; it’s whether or not they tried, at all.

              I have literally no idea what point you think you’re making here.

                Yeah I can understand that you don’t follow logic very well at all.

                  No, I mean I have literally no idea what you’re talking about, and it wasn’t because of the typo. As in like… maybe you should elaborate?

            Ah damn it’s not loading for me anymore either, looks like it’s gone. You could maybe find it in the modlog and screenshot it but I’m unaware of how to do such things. It was someone who posted a bunch of links that showed the charges were dismissed with prejudice and the agents were themselves charged for stealing a fuckton of bitcoin.

            Here’s a link that seems to be saying the same thing in lieu of the intended post.
