A Tennessee woman has been sentenced to prison for hiring a hitman with $10,000 in Bitcoin to kill the wife of a man she met on a dating site. The woman, whose identity has not been disclosed, was found guilty of conspiracy to commit murder after she arranged the hit through a dark web marketplace.
The woman reportedly met the man on a popular dating site and became infatuated with him. She then discovered that he was married and decided to take matters into her own hands. Using Bitcoin to remain anonymous, she contacted a hitman on the dark web and offered him the money to carry out the murder.
Fortunately, the hitman turned out to be an undercover law enforcement officer, who was able to gather enough evidence to arrest the woman before any harm could be done to the man’s wife. The woman was sentenced to prison for her actions, which were described as premeditated and cold-blooded.
This case serves as a chilling reminder of the dangers of online relationships and the lengths some people will go to in order to get what they want. It also highlights the importance of staying vigilant and cautious when interacting with strangers online.
