It's a mainstay of movies and TV. The corporation that hires a hitman or even has it's own back ops team to take out people who they perceive as a threat to the bottom line. I wonder if any of that really happens? I know Corporations can act in a callous and even sociopathic way with complete indifference to human life. They also act like organized crime in terms of bribery and skirting the law to get what they want. But have they gone the complete route to murder for hire? Just an idle muse after watching too much Law and Order and various films that seem to usually star Julia Roberts.
I imagine they do things in other countries that we would consider criminal and probably war crimes. There existence is a testament to our decline as a nation.
But I am referring more to the domestic mob type killing.
5. It would not surprise me, but if I were a corporate overlord my assassins
would only be used to take out the outside contractors used to take out the threat. That breaks the line of investigation while putting a buffer between me and the victim.
