#2 Years ago, some hacker type suggested what was called an "assassination pool".

When such a pool is created, it appears as a website on some server in a third world country, and appears to be a benign and ordinary text page. Word about it and where funds are to be sent is spread only by word of mouth, never electronically.

The anonymous "host" puts up a text page listing the name of potential assassination targets and a number representing a dollar amount. That is all. Anonymous individuals electronically send $500 (or more) bets along with a date/time when they think the assassination will happen. In exchange they get a code number.

If they just want to contribute to the pool for a particular victim, they set the date/time within a few days, forfeiting their bet to drive the amount up. Then, a real assassin sends in a date/time, unknown to anyone but the host, and if the target dies closest to that, then the assassin gets the pooled funds.

Thus one or many individuals can anonymously create, with an anonymous assassin, a contract to kill a target, with a known amount of money.

Importantly, while the *assumption* was that this would be directed at political leaders, nothing prevents *excluding* political leaders, and going after known terrorists and terrorist backers.

This changes the entire character of the pool, from assassination, per se, to a "private bounty", to take out such people, who often governments refuse to either pursue or eliminate.
