Professional hitmen don't actually exist. It's a 'business' that you can't possibly advertise for and has no way for the customer to assess the quality of the provider in advance. Sometimes killings do happen in exchange for money, but they don't involve someone that is a professional killer that works with the public as their primary source of income. It just doesn't exist. But there are some cases where killing does happen for money.

Sometimes two people will conspire to kill another for profit. Maybe one spouse hates another spouse. They ask a close friend or relative to kill their spouse, and they offer a portion of proceeds from life insurance as a payment for their risk and trouble. Or they're cheating on their spouse with someone else, stand to inherit all their spouses assets upon their demise, and promise to marry the person they're cheating with, thus sharing all the assets with them. In this case, it's not a stranger being hired; the killer has known the person 'hiring' them for decades.

Some killings-for-hire are gang related. A gang wants someone killed. They don't hire a random person to do it. They get one of their own members, who they've already known for many years and is a full member of the gang. In compensation for the huge risk the person is taking on to perform the deed, they offer a large sum of cash. Again, an unvetted stranger is not being hired. This person has likely already committed numerous crimes on the gang's behalf in the past. When you've already committed enough crimes on a gang's behalf to get you years in prison, a murder isn't such a stretch.

Some killings-for-hire are done at the behest of nation-states. Spycraft. The KGB or CIA hire someone in a foreign country who is already sympathetic to them to kill someone the intelligence agency wants taken out. The intelligence agency doesn't just select anyone, they go through a long vetting process just like they would any other intelligence asset. In fact, the potential assassin has likely already provided good intelligence and assistance to them for years, already risked extensive jail time or worse. If you're a US military member that's been providing intelligence to the KGB for a decade and have already participated in sabotage efforts, you're already looking at treason charges if you're caught. Offing someone for the KGB isn't such an escalation. And when a nation-state hires someone to perform a killing, they also offer the person a plausible way out. The CIA can hire someone to kill someone for them in a foreign country and hand that person a US passport along with a few million safely in a US bank account in their name. Hell, they can make sure the assassin's family has been given US citizenship and is already in the US before the deed is done. The CIA assassin can perform the killing, and as long as they can get to US or friendly territory before the foreign cops catch up with them, they'll be completely free and clear. And regardless, their family will already be set for life in the US.

These are the kinds of scenarios where killings actually do occur in exchange for money. No one hires someone to kill another that they haven't heavily vetted. If a random civilian is going to hire someone else to kill someone, they won't hire a professional assassin. They'll hire their brother or their lover. Otherwise contract killings only are done by organizations like gangs or national intelligence agencies, and they only hire people to do so that they've worked with for years and who has already committed numerous less severe crimes for them in the past.

In short, there really is no such thing as a professional assassin that serves the general public. Maybe if you are the spouse of a high-level violent gang member, you might be able to convince them to use the gang's resources to pay one of their trusted members to kill someone in exchange for cash. But if you're just a random average person? Forget it. There simply are not professional contract killers hiding in the shadows that a random civilian can hire if they have the cash. Anyone claiming to be that is simply a cop. Any person who DID try to start a career like this would be caught very quickly and have a very, very short career.

From my extensive experience in this area (true crime podcasts lol), if your hitman is either quoting a reasonable price or offering a payment plan, they're a cop.

Unless you're in South Africa, in which case you can legitimately walk in to a bar and hire a murderer for a very reasonable price.

Its pretty easy to hire a hitman on the dark web. Just be aware, they all seem to be undercover FBI agents.

How easy or hard is it to hire a Hitman?

That's the man right there, Officer.

Depends on who you know.

If you are well connected to a cartel or a similar crime organisation or at least in good standing with them: No, it's not that difficult, sadly.

If you are not, thankfully it's hard.

Why? Because it's illegal and that is a problem for the buyer in that case. Why? Because if you hire someone he can simply fuck off with the money. Now what do you do now? You can't go to the police or sue him. You can of course hire another hitman and try to kill the first hitman . But who guarantees that this hitman is not also fucking off with the money? (There was literally a case when this happened).

So unless you have some kind of "society net" behind you, that protects you from this, either via coercion ("Pablo will kill your family if you fuck off with his money, the buyer is his veterinarian!") or other guarantees ("You are no longer welcome with lemmafia, you screwed over one of us!") you are likely fucked.

And if you would,you would not ask that here.

Which is good.

The old school hitman that worked for a higher up in a syndicate has nearly disappeared these days at least in the industrial nations. DNA based investigation techniques are fairly common these days and it is nearly impossible to be certain that you left no traces. And these can fuck you over 20 years later. So it's not a long term career these days as people don't want to risk being caught for drunk driving 20 years later and now have a murder case brought up against them all of a sudden. Additionally these kind of people are a liability - they can connect someone who does not want to be connected to a crime to one. Which makes them very interesting witnesses.

Even the crime cartels often use kids/minors as hitman these days - sometimes even brought in from South America,etc. just for the crime. They have very little risk of detection as they won't be in any databases, they don't care if they get their DNA on something when they disappear into a slum (or worse) afterwards anyway and if caught they won't get harsh sentences most of the time.

All you gotta do is use www.rentahitman.com They've been around for a few years now and have heard good things about them.

Contact your local FBI office - they'll put you in touch with some of the people they're keeping an eye on. You'll have to wear a wire though.

As everyone already mentioned, all hitmen are just cops with a fake moustache.

So just skip the middleman, and start swatting your enemies. Same results, probably at a discount for you!

There was a movie about this last year. It was based on a true story, but strays a bit from what actually happened. It's pretty good. It's called Hitman.

It's always a cop, not a hitman

Asking for a friend?

DM me, I'll hook you up 😇

From my understanding, in Brazil, you just ask your local dealer if he knows someone and he'll put you in touch

Well first off go look at all those articles where someone hires a hitman and is arrested. its harder than that for sure but you keep seeing the stories pop up.

You need some kind of special coin -- no, I'm not sure where to get one -- and then you go to this hotel right here. Then you go to the bar and ask.

The dark web is a pretty good bet. Going into a bar is probably going to get you arrested.

If you go through the dark web don’t meet the hit man in person. Remain anonymous (plausible deniability). Use an anonymous way to send money. I have no experience in the dark web but I’d assume there is a way to do the equivalent of an escrow account. Where you put the money in and it won’t release until contract is complete.
