Myself too saw a list of websites on an youtube video through which one can hire a killer. For each activity there is different pay rate. The service starts from fracturing, harming to killing. Upon that I don't think this news to be big. When there is good with something, it'll also have negative things associated with it. The users need to use it for the good and not for the bad.
It is indeed sad to hear this news that even bitcoin can now use in huge crimes like hiring a killer for killing someone that is we know innocent. And also what saddens the most is can also be used in crimes not only in cyber or virtual world but also in reality. This is would be another reason that's why most of the people are still disagree on using bitcoin.

It's a shame that people consider murder to deal with personal issues. It's good that the killer wasn't hired, though. As for Bitcoin, I don't think the means of payment should be emphasized. What's bad is the killer part, not the Bitcoin part. But when Bitcoin is mentioned in such stories, the content of the story casts a shadow on BTC reputation as well. As if killers aren't hired with USD.
Perfectly explained mode of payment is just an option like it can be paid in anything be it fiat or crypto, the result of murdering something is the biggest thing out here. Its unfortunate that such things happen as such people do not deserve to live freely and now police will take its action. But media has its own light to portray in negative way for crypto hope this stops.

Though the bitcoin was definitely used in an unfortunate manner, well, in the end, it's just bitcoin being used the same way fiat money like the USD is being used. Surprise, I guess? Just a topic that got to the headlines because bitcoin is involved.

Well its only just to arrest someone who violates the law, this as far as I know is attempted murder. Apparently she is using bitcoin to pay is just not making it bad for the reputation. It would have been good if coindesk also get the whole story as to why she wanted the guy dead.
Yes. Hiring a killer should be done in a chain and with familiarity.
Not directly
Unfortunately, people think that everything is like a movie

I'd say it shouldn't be done at all
There was a case years ago in the US where a woman tried this "chain" youre talking about. She contacted her friend and asked if he could help her find a killer because she wants to get rid of her husband. The guy went straight to the police and they sent an undercover officer to record her describing all the details.
Don't do it people!
I've seen this on TV. She still deny even after arrested. Seen lots of crime documentary, reasons are mostly about money, new love and kid's custody.

You have to be stupid to hire a killer these days. Most of the adds online are fakes set up by the police and you can't even be sure if the guy won't scam you.
It's so easy to take the downpayment and run because you know she won't report it. What would she say? I hired a killer and he didn't do his job?
People make stupid decisions when their rationality is muddled by emotion in the case of this one maybe anger for her ex-husband. You can't really blame their stupidity if it involves emotions. The best thing that we can do is to crackdown this scammers online because they do know how to play with emotions and they exploit it because they know that law enforcement do not follow up on them. My advice to people that will attempt this stupid games of hiring "hitman" online is take a deep breath and ask yourself whether you can live with your choices and its consequences for the rest of your life.It's so easy to take the downpayment and run because you know she won't report it.

Regarding OP, add a link so readers can validate the post whether they are from fake news website. It adds to the quality.

I'm not saying you copy-pasted this post, but since it sounds quite as if you did, you should add the source to your article, if not you will be banned for plagiarism.
I have added the source. Sorry you did not read it:
According to coindesk Thirty-six-year-old Kristy Lynn Felkins has been summoned to court on charges of paying 12 bitcoins ($ 5,000 at the time) for trying to hire a killer to kill his ex-wife. The case is said to be related to another case involving the recruitment of a killer. It is worth noting that this killer was not hired in the end.
Also, I did not copy the text and turned it into an article.
And this statement of yours upset me.

A woman has been arrested in the United States for hiring a killer with bitcoin 
A Nevada woman has appeared in federal court on charges of paying $ 5,000 in bitcoin to a killer to kill her ex-husband.
According to coindesk Thirty-six-year-old Kristy Lynn Felkins has been summoned to court on charges of paying 12 bitcoins ($ 5,000 at the time) for trying to hire a killer to kill his ex-wife. The case is said to be related to another case involving the recruitment of a killer. It is worth noting that this killer was not hired in the end.
U.S. law enforcement officials say Homeland Security agents managed to crack down on bitcoins paid to hire a killer. These bitcoins are linked to the Falkins account on the local bitcoin website. Falkins is said to have spoken to the scammer before paying him.
The rumors circulating about this criminal case show that the scammer, over a period of one month, tried hard to persuade Falkins to use a more expensive method of murder. While the murder ultimately does not take place, the scammer cuts off contact with the Falkins without leaving a trace.
Federal agents say an unnamed hacker hacked the killer recruitment site, providing information such as conversations, bitcoin addresses and other data to security officials in January 2019.
The data provided by the hacker to the judiciary has similar implications to another case that federal agents are investigating. This case is also related to a killer recruitment website in Dark Web.
Judicial officials say their source provided a wealth of information about several open cases, but did not name herself or these sites.
Federal officials say the information provided by the hacker is "reliable." The archived documents of the case refer to the hacker as a foreign national convicted of possessing child pornography.
Documents in the Falkins case show that he cooperated with the US government without any financial request or even request for release from prison.
The US Department of Homeland Security has not yet officially commented on the matter.
Many people think that bitcoin transactions are untraceable and that they can be used to finance crimes "completely" anonymously. But the reality is that the bitcoin blockchain sometimes reaches out to security systems to handle cases more efficiently.
