Whatever’s on my mind really.

A peek at illustration inspiring celebrity sexiness, quirky news stories from inherently pornified pop culture, tips, sketchbook and work in progress, reviews and other things of interest; whatever’s on my mind really—which more fool you if you ever take that seriously.

Latest Picks is a sort of mini-blog for daily thoughts and picks. Longer articles, stories & sketches are found in the full-size blog, where indeed Latest Picks are moved when updates to a story make it too large.

Note: Both Latest Picks and Blog are to be retired at the end of September, although both will remain available indefinitely as an archived part of the site. No further updates to past stories will be made.

Dark web “hitmen-for-hire” service EXPOSED: Inside the “assassination marketplace” that’s hiding a shocking secret (mirror.co.uk).

Besa Mafia

And the “shocking secret“ being? Indeed, a lot of the dark and deep web mystique tabloids and not-so-tabloids spin for those own good copy means is phooey, and pretty much a scam like much of the internet becomes when given enough appealing to curiosity attention.

“A pair of British computer experts have discovered that an assassination website offering hitmen for hire is a cynical SCAM set up to fleece people out of large sums of money. They have spent more than a year cracking into a secret dark web ‘marketplace’ called Besa Mafia—a slickly-produced website which describes itself as a place where people can pay the very toughest killers of the Albanian Mafia to bump off their enemies.

“But it appears that just one or two Eastern European men are operating this hidden website, tricking people into handing over money to pay for hits which don’t actually happen. Several people who fell for the trick handed over up to £10,000 worth of Bitcoin at a time, with the criminals netting somewhere in the region of £50,000 in the past year alone.”

I’m not quite so sure exactly what sort of “curiosity attention” may have actually been raised though in seek of hiring seemingly abs-bearing “bear” assassin and, to be honest, they could have got that at a veritable number of places on the bright surface and not so dark and deep web.

Besa Mafia “hitman”

Seemingly the often interchangeable “deep” and “dark” terminology which is actually not so interchangeable may have given a clue; for sure, I doubt a “real” hitmen hiring site is going to be anything other than invite only and not accessible to the masses by any conventional (i.e. non TOR onion) means: Difference between Deep and Dark web (brighthub.com).
