According to coindesk Thirty-six-year-old Kristy Lynn Felkins has been summoned to court on charges of paying 12 bitcoins ($ 5,000 at the time) for trying to hire a killer to kill his ex-wife. The case is said to be related to another case involving the recruitment of a killer. It is worth noting that this killer was not hired in the end.

It is difficult to believe these "stories". Can anyone be so dumb to actually hire a murderer for just $5,000? I still remember the case of Ross William Ulbricht. The FBI wanted to make sure that he remains behind bars for the rest of his life and it is being alleged that they created some fake web chats showing that he hired contract killers to take down his competitors. It is very easy to create fake web chats.

With Ross they had a lot on him and that murder for hire was just one of the many. They usually try to get a video or a voice recording.
In her case they had transcripts of messages sent between her and a guy pretending to be a hitman for hire.

What would she say? I hired a killer and he didn't do his job? Cheesy

The story is really shady, I don't get to see the source, could have been a made up story. I'll buy into this story once a credible source shows up.

This one is real.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. Kristy Lynn Felkins, 36, of Fallon, Nevada, was indicted today for a murder-for-hire plot, U.S. Attorney McGregor W. Scott announced.
According to court documents, Felkins sent 12 bitcoin (valued at approximately $5,000 at the time) to a darkweb hitman website to have her ex-husband murdered. (...)The website turned out to be a scam, and Felkins was not refunded the bitcoin she sent to the site, which is no longer in operation.
