Jason talks about the unbelievable story of the RentAHitman website that has accidentally lured real criminals looking for help with a hit.
In this episode of the podcast How It All Went South, hosts Jason Hoch and Sean Kipe discuss the unbelievable true story of RentAHitman.com. The website was originally created as a joke for a cybersecurity business but inadvertently became a trap for would-be criminals. Despite obvious clues that the site is a parody, people continue to submit serious murder-for-hire requests, leading to multiple arrests. The hosts delve into the website's history, the creator's intentions, and the psychology of the individuals who attempt to use the site for nefarious purposes. They also discuss several high-profile cases of people who were arrested after submitting requests to RentAHitman.com.
