Think hiring a hitman is as easy as ordering takeout? Well, some people definitely think so. From clueless criminals turning to the dark web (spoiler: it’s usually an FBI sting) to hiring an undercover cop instead of a killer, the world of contract killing is filled with more blunders than blockbusters.

In this episode of Crime Clueless - Criminals Perspective Series, we’re diving into the hilariously inept, downright bizarre, and occasionally terrifying cases of hitman-for-hire gone horribly wrong. We’ll break down:

🔹 Why real hitmen aren’t advertising on Craigslist (but cops are watching)
🔹 The wild story of the
Rent-A-Hitman website—and why so many people fall for it
🔹 Cases where the would-be assassin turned informant instead of pulling the trigger
🔹 The shocking and
insanely stupid mistakes that got murder-for-hire plots exposed

Turns out, plotting the perfect crime is way harder than the movies make it look. Tune in as we unpack the ultimate guide on what not to do when hiring a hitman (not that you should).

💀 Don’t be clueless—just press play.
