I read an excellent article awhile back about how some guy decided to 1v1 one of those scam cyber-hitman sites. It might have been the one mentioned in the article, as the name started with a B and the antagonist's name Y.
The long and the short of it was, the guy running the site felt like he was justified by running the scam because he was stopping those people from finding and hiring REAL hitmen - and the thing is, he wasnt entirely wrong in that respect. It ended with the vigilante (the guy going after the site) exposing the guy running the scam over and over, but hed never been able to get anyone to take him down and suspected that the guy was actually working with the FBI.
If that rings any bells for anyone, I'd appreciate you linking the article. It was an interesting read, far moreso (IMO) than this one.

Was it The unbelievable tale of a fake hitman, a kill list, a darknet vigilante... and a murder, Wired, Dec '18?
That was it. Thanks!
