"A startling and unsettling story appeared today — a story that was immediately amplified when the Drudge Report posted it: “A dark web ‘hitman’ is promising to kill Trump — if he raises $30,000 in crypto.”
Two weeks ago, a website went up on the dark web entitled “Destroy Trump.” It included an image of the president-elect with a red “X” over his face. Chillingly, the would-be assassin claims to have already raised $13,245. That leaves him less than $17,000 from his goal.
The Daily Dot also claimed that it reached out to the Secret Service and asked if anyone in the federal government was aware of the threat. But the Secret Service is still under the direction of the Biden-Harris administration, so naturally, nobody bothered responding to the inquiry.
The prior conduct of the Secret Service doesn’t exactly inspire confidence." PJMedia
