A New Jersey man faces up to 10 years in prison after paying a hitman $20,000 in Bitcoin to have a 14-year-old child murdered, prosecutors say. The man aimed to prevent the teen from testifying against him in a child sex abuse case.
A New Jersey man faces up to 10 years behind bars after he hired a hitman and paid $20,000 in Bitcoin to kill a 14-year-old, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors said that Musbach had decided to have the victim killed so the minor could not testify against him in the pending criminal case. He then “repeatedly” messaged the website’s administrator following up and asking when the hit would happen. But the website administrator then revealed the site was a scam and threatened to expose Musbach’s information to law enforcement.
