== Current Reality: Scams and Honey Pots == A workable reputation system costs both time and money to build, and right now, every supposed “hit man” site appears to be either a scam or a law enforcement sting (honey pot). From an economic standpoint, it’s more sensible for scammers to take payment and disappear than to risk murder charges for a single payout. The buyer can’t exactly go to the police. With '''no need for repeat business''', burning bridges is inconsequential to the scammer. Nevertheless, the Internet likely has the capacity to bootstrap a reputation system for a harassment market. All that’s missing is a determined founder with the technical and organizational skill to make it happen. <span id="a-potentially-positive-side"></span>
