New Jersey Man Paid 40 BTC to Hire a Hitman

Federal agents arrested John Michael Musbach,31-year-old computer tech, of Haddonfield, New Jersey, and and charged with murder-for-hire for hiring a hitman to kill the child victim of his abuse, U.S. Attorney Craig Carpenito alleged in a statement.

Musbach, who pleaded guilty to endangering the welfare of a child by sexual contact in 2017, allegedly used unnamed darkweb black-market website and paid 40 Bitcoin to hire a hitman to assassinate a 14-year-old victim. Investigators did not name the website at the center of Musbach’s case. But descriptions of its sales pitch in court filings matched those associated with the now-defunct Besa Mafia site.

Musbach was arrested in March 2016 and charged with child pornography. He ultimately pleaded guilty to the endangering charge and was sentenced Feb. 9, 2018, to a two-year suspended sentence. He was also placed on parole supervision for life.
