Note to would-be criminals: overtly illegal activities are rarely offered on the public internet; even on dark web, things like contract assassins tend to be undercover Feds as well.<\/p>\n<p>The dot-com even claimed, and still claims, to be &#8220;100% HIPPA Compliant (Hitman Information Privacy &amp; Protection Act of 1964).&#8221;&nbsp;The website&#8217;s privacy statement apparently linked directly to the FBI&#8217;s Internet Crime Complaint Center at one point, too, according to the prosecution.

RI also asked why her email address indicated her name was Zandra Ellis, not Jasmine Brown.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>According to prosecutors, Ellis replied: &#8220;I didn&#8217;t want my real name out just in case this isn&#8217;t real or if it comes back to me or so I wouldn&#8217;t go to jail for wanting something like this done.
