I assume you can’t go to real court over something like this.
This is why you go with the assassins guild. They ensure it gets done, because their reputation is on the line.
Just saying.
This. It’s always worth the extra silver to go with an established guild. Never worth the risk to take a chance hiring an assassin from Craigslist.
Considering that Craigslist is all a bunch of feebs moonlighting, contract disputes can get uncomfortable.

The real answer is you can’t actually contract for illegal things, the contract is void from the start.
Tell that to the tiefling with vial of the killer’s blood underneath the Moonkeeps Tavern…

Dang I hope was hoping in addition to the black market, there was an underground judicial system.

You do understand that the black market isn’t an actual place/thing? It’s just a term used for spaces that facilitate the trade of illegal goods…
In the same way the black market is underground trade, so too would this court be an underground judicial system.
Not anymore at least
It used to be, though.
No, you can’t go to real court. You’re actually kinda getting at something more serious: This is true for all crimes. Especially also drug crimes. That is why the prohibition of drugs causes violent crime: the only way to enforce contracts over illegal drugs is through violence.
I think US tax department explicitly states that you must state any income you obtained through illegal means in your tax returns.
The High Table sends an adjudicator with a special type of haircut. I think the hair style has a name, but I don’t know it.
Gen Z really want everything handed to them. I remember the old times, there was no thing as a contract killer, if you hated your enemies, neighbor or the president, you had to kill them yourself. This generation doesn’t know how to do that kind of stuff by themselves anymore.
I read somewhere it’s actually more common for a hired killer to turn the person who hired them into the police than for them to actually do the job.
In that same article, it said the average payment for a contract killer is less than $5000. So maybe if you’re gonna hire a contract killer, you should not cheap out and get the one that requires a million dollars, with payment only on the death of the victim.
I heard of some kid who made bank setting up a hitman website on the TOR network and accepting payment in Bitcoin. He just handed over the information straight to the police and kept the bitcoin.
There’s a website set up by a white-hat hacker to solicit work as a network penetrator. It has some odd name that’s assassin related (contractkiller.com or something similar, I can’t remember offhand). He set it up, and forgot about it. When he went back to it, a lot of the messages were people asking him to kill someone.
He sent all the info to the police, and left the website up. Now it’s just a honeypot for people trying to have someone killed. I visited it a while ago, it’s very tongue-in-cheek. But people are stupid and willing to believe anything.
This is literally what organized crime does, it’s like the cops for criminals.
Fun fact: In Austria, a contract killer has been found guilty of fraud this year because he didn’t kill his target.
Fun for the survivor I guess… Do you have a source? I’d like to learn more about it.
Only German ones, and they don’t go into much detail: 20min.ch
Thank you
You get a contract killer to kill your previous contract killer. Duh.
… is the premise of the very worst John Wick spinoff.
Nicolas Cage’s The Wicker Man is the only John Wick spinoff worth your time.
Nicolas Cage’s The Wicker Man is the only John Wick spinoff worth your time.
- That movie is older than John Wick
- It’s a remake of an even older movie
- Which is based on an even older book
- The plot has NOTHING to do with hired killers or anything John Wick related
Are you sure you didn’t mixed up the movie?
… whooosh
Think it’s supposed to be a pun since John Wick and Wicker Man.
Judge Dredd, obvi.
there are two legal options for a contract killer: military sharp shooters, and death pentaly executors. Both have options to deal with this. Both have strong limits on what contracts they will take though so probably not what you are asking.
Your own gun.
This is the fuel underneath the 8 years long plot of Barry.
