The Little Texas Hit that Wasn’t

 

The hack of dark web “murder-for-hire” outfit Besa Mafia, which I wrote about a couple of days ago. has provided a treasure trove of stories of people who are prepared to go to extreme measures to be rid of someone in their lives. Most never got further than the initial enquiries. A few parted with tens of thousands of dollars. Nobody got much satisfaction.

One of the first customers that Besa Mafia engaged with was a Texan fellow who wanted to put out a hit on his ex-wife. It didn’t go quite to plan. Especially once Guido came into the conversation.

In the early days, it seemed Besa was a little more careful about keeping their side of the conversation, but we can surmise something of what’s being said. A little further down, their responses start (in red). Guido is in green. Stick with it – it gets better.

This email did come through – please note, monies are frozen, but if I give you the details needed, you will know for certain who I am, no way for me to avoid the threat and ignore you – if you really can have the job done, and make it look like an accident, I can and will gladly pay double after the job is done. My accounts are all frozen – part of my needs to have it done. Please let me know – has a limited time to get it done.
If I had a method to borrow, I would.
If this is not possible – understood.

Thank you for the generosity, but I really have nothing – the money I had saved had to be spent on property taxes, and as noted, my spendings are monitored at present. If you really provide the services, as noted, I would happily pay double for your help (as the contractor, you could have pocketed it), as the funds would then be released by the court. I have little time and NO options. Sorry it apparently took too long to chat. I will probably find a local solution without professional abilities.

Noted, you would have had full knowledge of who I am, so future payment would never have been a risk. Again, thanks for the responses.

I only have three weekends left… Subject works late (@9PM) on Fridays in a small town, only 4 square miles. If your team can do it, I have no time left. Reading your agreement, you don’t pay the performer until after, and like noted, I can’t give you more info that you won’t know exactly who I am, so no worries that I would not honor my commitment.

If you can help me, please tell me. You advertise as a mafia hit team, so there is no chance in me not honoring my offer, and you can make more than you originally desired on a really easy job. You won’t believe how simple.

To make it easier, this is a divorce matter, and funds are on hold until settlement, but they also get detailed inventory of any spending or credit card charges. If the matter is resolved as we discussed, funds are released as there is no opposition, and child care expenses are immediate.

As long as the matter looks accidental, not much of a problem. Funds are on hold with my attorney now to cover the cost. There is no wait for a policy to pay.

As noted, you will immediately know who I am, but even credit card transactions are currently monitored for the divorce, and again, you guys will know who I am. You notified upfront that the expenses were not recovered until the hit is accomplished, so from a timing perspective, there is no delay, and from a trust issue, you will know who I am. I appreciate your consistent lowering of the up front down payment, but I just can\’t do it. I would have already if I could.

There are many services offering trust if you just send a little money. I presume you have the authority and history to stand out.

Marriage over, she is now abusing one of two little ones. She is alone in her car in a small town consistently of Friday nights, so I assumed that would be best time.

What town does we speak of? To see what is our nearest hitman member…

We have gang members and hitmen in mosst states, and I need to see wich one is closest to you. Not all hitman kill women, some only kill men. I need to find one close by who also does women, so travel is little.

If she is in the car, the easies would be if the hitman is driving an other car and hits her car violently, to kill her. This could be done with a strong stolen truck, that can be abandoned after job.

Could appear as a thief got drunk and involved in an accident

We have a large network of members, mostly doing drug deals and prostitution, but some of the members do hit jobs for extra revenue.

We are operating in USA since long before the Windows systems, but it’s only recent that we moved on to use online infrastructure and websites to comunicate with each other.

I will advice the contractor not visit your home address, but a different member who only deal with minor crimers like drugs he can go by and see who comes out from the address in the morning.

I still searched for the divorce case and couldn’t find it.

This is why is easier and simpler to do it the way we always do it, funds first to account then we do job without asking details about customer

Update from the hitman, he does not want to do this unless you deposit at least $500 in bitcoin to your account.

While $5000 might be hard to get and pay with frozen account, $500 should be not a problem for any person.

This ensure that we are talking to a serious adult, and not to some kid who pretends to be someone else and run a hit on some women.

Unless you can add $500 in bitcoins to your account, we are not able to help you

A question how did you learned about us?

And how come you are not willing to submit a deposit of 5000$ ? it is a very small payment.

Message from: xtyndtu1QWdg:
Subject: Re: ORDER
To admin

Thank you for removing the info.

You indicated that funds are held by you until the contractor did his job, then indicated the contractor wouldn’t proceed until paid.

You continued to lower payment, then indicated in your last email that the full 5000 was not a lot…..

You efforted repeatedly to ask for info that had no value at all, indicating further that if I had just paid, the info was not needed.

I gave you specifics to make the job unbelievably simple.

If you were genuinely involved in the practice, it would have never taken a full day of asking for untraceable monies, and I was completely honest about the financial hold, and monitoring of monies including credit cards. No benefit in lying. That is why I offered you double, but unfortunately, you backed off, indicating that you had contractor demand (within minutes) changing the agreement. Quickly, even though you indicated you don’t normally do these kind of jobs, but less involved jobs like supplying drugs, which isn’t even listed on your website….

If I had to be honest, I am not confident that you have the ability to provide the services. A number of “scammers” claim the same….If you did, you couldn’t be concerned about payment after completion – customers not typically involved in such activity wouldn’t even imagine not paying a contract out of fear alone.

english is not my first language, and maybe this cause lots of confustion. to explain again, Besa Mafia site is a middle man. we connect customers to hitmen. the contractor won’t proceed until we give him the OK, until the money is in your account on this site.

the contractor does not receive the money, but your account has it. the contractor receives the money when job is done the site holds the money during this time this way contractors can’t scam the customer, and customer can’t scam the contractor

It appears as though I frustrated you, but in a legal matter where all purchases and withdrawals are monitored and justification required, even for cash withdrawals, I genuinely cannot provide any deposit. I am not trying to get a free activity, but warned that I (self protectively) cannot have conversation with another in person, that is the way law enforcement starts – you even encouraged against it.

If you can get the job done, I can pay soon after if the circumstances are not suspicious. It’s not a withhold on my part, and as these deep web messages come to you at all hours, you can be certain I am not a kid. As you initiated and set it up, one-on-one is legally threatening.

Sorry if you were offended, but many of the groups you referenced have not in the past, and do not require a pre-payment, and we have ATM machines to make the exchange, so even if a kid tried, he could pay.

If you can, please do, if not, understood.

Hi,

I don’t know if you read my entire message previsiously, hope you did. I do type fast and write long messages, even tough english is not my first language and I do lots of spelling and grammar mistakes.

If you say all cash withdraws need justified you can pretend to be depressed and go to a casino, buy chips for $2000 or $1000 or whatever you have, play $200, cash out the remaining when going out of the casino, drink some bears and claim to have your wallet stolen in some public place.

noone can prove your wallet was not stolen.

you have money and you have it justified, even if you never played casino before, you can claim you are depressed and felt like you might be trying your luck to win some money to get a new life or whatever you want to say

Again, contradicting your previous emails in a number of facts. Gonna log out now – note though, your continued reference to getting anonymous monies up front, (borrowed would only increase liability) in no way insures your efforts, but rather, only highlights the pursuit of monies.

Thank you for the copied email with your personal note at the end, only highlighting your creating additional liability if a hit will happen – if you had half of the contractors you imply, you could get this done. even if you didn’t have contractors, I thought you might have a connection I didn’t.

Were I law enforcement, the monies would be readily available.

I have a local alternative (I was trying to avoid to be honest). I just thought I would verify your players did not want the double. bm-2cvkdbuaxvb83trm5jeurv7pcxscmhetvn@bitmessage.ch

My name is Yura, and I am the cyber team admin of Besa Mafia. I don’t do any killings personally, I just administrates the network here, website, and other needed stuff..

I have other colegues working with me, and a boss. All orders from customers on the system are assigned to hitmen that are registered into the system, basically albanian mafia members who know how to use a computer and tor browser.

My boss and colegues told me to not change anything in the sistem, and that no orders without adding funds first will be accepted.

If you want us to do the order for you, you add the $5000 funds. If you don’t have the money I am sorry.

If you go for a local alternative, you will most likely be arrested, local alternatives are undercover cops.

We have lots of orders each day from worldwide, and we do the hits, so I am not trying to insist to get your order and money.

I just tried to help you, but I can’t. Besa Mafia is not just me, it’s a large team of indivduals who are using computers and internet via anonymous tor sistem, I am only admin of cyber.

Since 2012 drug cartels and criminals have moved online to find new customers and suppliers using tor and anonumous browsing.

Police is trying to arrest our hitmen all the time by trying to meet them. We do not accept meeting with customers. It’s not something I made, it’s the Besa Mafia policy and I am not the chief of Besa Mafia, I am just an admin who need to obey this

I tried to help you, but I don’t do killings myself and I do not personally live near Texas to come and meet you.

And the killers registered in system don’t want to meet customers, they just do orders, if are with funds added on sistem.

They do want to do your order, but they have lots of other bussy things to do like drugs and other crimes so they are not desperate to get orders. They are doing very fine

I wish you best lock, and make sure:
– he is not an undercover cop
– he has an unregistered guy
– he cleans the guy and bullets with a cotton cloth against fingerprints and any dna traces
– he has a getaway stolen car; witnesses could see his car model and collor if is not stolen and could be traced back to him
– he is not seen by witnesses while he waits in the car to see her
– he has good aim to hit from first shot, because after shooting everybody has the reflex to hide down and seconds shoots might be harder to hit
– glass might deviate the trajectory of low caliber bullets so if he shots through glass at an angle and not perpendicular on glass he might miss
– he should have somenone to help him and make sure there are no accidental police in near in the area, you might even do a fake call from paid phone to 112 reporting some crime to a different address, to have local cars of police going to that direction, away from your place

Because when shooting happens, you might have police cars coming to place very fast, if he doesn’t have a silencer

these in case he can’t do it by accident

if he does do it by accident, he should wait the target get out on the main road before hitting her, because noone drives with high speed in the parking lot and they will suspect murder

anyway, you either do this right or you will be busted

If he gets caught, police will ask him why he killed her, and might offer a deal to lower his jail time if he says who hired him, most people tell who hired them if they know, to lower jail time

Hello,

Yes, that is correct. We receive orders to kill people from all over the world, however our site is fake and we don’t have any hitmen. We forward the orders to police departments where the targets are located.

janeblondiesexy@gmail.com is one of our emails on google, we use it to send notifications of hit orders to police.

The information that was provided to you is correct, the customer has contacted us with intent to kill his wife, because he was going through an divorce.

He provided her picture, her name and the place where she works, he specified she can be found on friday nights there, and the car driving.

He wanted to do it by accident.

All the information we got from the guy has been provided by janeblondiesexy to the Police Department, the guy has offered to meet our fake hitmen but we refused, we don’t have any personal that can meet customers.

We are a team of computer programmers living in Europe, and we made this website as a honey pot for criminals, to fight crime and criminals

You can identify the customer from the information provided to Texas Police, and you can have some undercover officer approach him from the local crime community as he saith he is also looking for local alternatives if we are not doing the hit

If you need any help or assistance from us we are happy to provide.

Please tell him that you may have a brother that’s available. This should be the last communication you need with us, and we should be able to take over after we can make direct contact with the customer.

Also, are you able to send the photo the customer provided? (You can provide that to our e-mail address directly if you can’t provide it through the website)

Can you also send us the statement he made regarding “seeking local alternatives”?

Since time is critical here, please have the customer contact us as soon as possible.

It’s not a problem to comunicate with you.

You can keep your account active and your email address, we will periodically send you hit orders for texas when we get it

We are not in contact with the customer any more, he does not login to our website to read messages any longer.

He signed up using this email address [REDACTED]

All information about the target was forwarded to the [REDACTED] Police, including her Name, car model and plate, etc.

Her picture is [REDACTED]

You can first check if she is not dead, if he hired some local alternative. If she is not dead, you might work something locally to setup a trap for him, as he doesn’t comunitate with us any longer.

Please notice that our website is to attract people who want to hire hitmen, they send us payment in Bitcoin, and we then tell something came up and order can’t be done.

We advertise ourself as a marketplace where hitmen can join up, and where customers can place orders for killing.

Killers can join using the signup form, they need to pay a deposit to prove they are serious.

Customers can join and place orders for killing, they need to add funds to their account before the think order is completed

We are taking these funds, and we give the information to the police.

We are not mafia we are not doing drugs, we just ripping of criminals and give info to law enforcement

If the customer contact us again, I will have him contact you. If other customers in texas ask for orders, we can tell them to contact your email address,

Also, could you please confirm the date and time of the last communcation you received from the customer? If you also know the date/time of the last login, that would be helpful.

Lastly, could you confirm if the customer paid any funds for this job?

We will attempt to communicate directly with the customer’s registered address.

We are also willing to work with FBI to give them info if they want.

Why we would do this ?? Because as mentioned, this website is to scam criminals of their money. We report them for 2 reasons:
– to stop murder, this is moral and right
– to avoid being charged with conspiracy to murder or association to murder, if we get caught.

We try to keep our website protected and our identities secret, but if we get busted, we want to limit charges to scamming bad people and not want to be charged with conspiracy or association to murder or witholding details about potential crimes

With that being saith, we will work with any law enforcement, and we will report hitmen joining and killing orders

Hi,

I am a former member of Besa, and ex-member of their cyber team.

I don’t work with them any more, but I still have access to their system from a backdoor, the other cyber team members miht find it and remove it soon.

Please notice that Besa is doing real killing for hire, but they are also working with law enforcement to keep it looking like it is fake with the purpose to avoid the site being tracked down.

Their strategy is to do real murders for customer who pay, while giving in customer information who don’t send payment to law enforcement, to claim they are fake and that they give all information in.

Hitmen can also sign up, those who send deposit of 1 BTC get real orders, while those who sign up and don’t send deposit are given to law enforcement.

They are keeping in touch with several police departments and law enforcements, from several countries, I am sending out this message to all known accounts on Besa Mafia to be of law enforcement

Please be aware that only information from customer who do not pay are given to police.

Customers who pay have their orders completed, with 80% going to hitman and 20% to besa mafia marketplace

They claim they work with law enforcement and that they are fake, but they advice customers not to give their real info and not to meet hitman.

They only give out the stupiest customers to law enforcement, those who are stupid to provide lots of info and who don’t pay, this way they mentain the look of fake service that works with law enforcement and this way they don’t get stut down

Hope this message gets to be read by all law enforcements who have accounts on this site before my access gets removed.

I moved out from them and am on a runaway from them, if Besa Mafia finds me they will kill me
