Is there a smaller payout if we just deport him and dump him off at The Hauge?
We could feed two birds with one scone. Take the money and build some affordable housing.
The u.s would never allow one of their ex presidents to ever go to prison, let alone at the Hague. There are literally plans to attack the Hague and extract the ex president if that ever happens.
The bounty is posted by Iran… wouldn’t it be better for everyone if we dropped him off at Tehran?
No, he should get a trial and a fair sentence
The real crazy part is that it’d be perfectly legal for Joe Biden to issue the same offer, so long as it’s through professional channels as an official act. The SCOTUS said so. Hell, to make it crystal clear, just order it through the military and then watch from the situation room. He could take out a few SCOTUS justices at the same time. And then unilaterally dictate that that sort of shit is not legal going forward. Best October surprise ever.
Best October surprise ever.
lmaooooo 🤣🤣
I am taking you read the recent news about Clinton and the October Suprise?
What was that?
Iran should have put some of that money in advertising because I didn’t know of this.
Is it still up, because that could explain things.
That and who thinks Iran would even be able to pay up?
If they did, I bet it would be one of those enormous cheques, like on Publishers Clearinghouse
The Iranian Ed McMahon comes to the assassin’s door…
Why wouldn’t they be able to pay up?
Let’s say they only reveal themselves to Iran though @[email protected] - what about sanctions?
Do they have $80 million in crypto?
The sanctions on Iran don’t prevent them from transfering money to most of the world, and 80 million dollars is pocket change for almost every single country.
They could have the money on a Cayman Islands or Swiss account by the end of the day, the problem is living long enough to spend it.
Is there a point to sanctions if they can transfer money to buying agents for whatever they need? Maybe the sanctions are all weapons & tech related or something.
Hmm, guess they used to be able to do U-turn payments just by using banks in various counties. If that’s harder now then it’s prob more expensive to get whatever they need since they have to pay someone enough to make it worthwhile for them to break the law. 🤷♂️
Look for example at the EU Sanctions, they impact around 270 individuals and organisations, but allow Iran to conduct legitimate business. The problem is that 80 million is relatively easy to pay in the middle of some of the legitimate business.
Why would they have to? The second the assassin revealed themselves to collect, they would be the most hunted person on the planet.
Iran’s soft power is only as good as its word.
They’d be in Iran.

And then Iran would be a pile of rubble.
I’m assuming a scenario where the perpetrators are killed on the scene, and the actual masterminds are already in Iran or in Iranian proxy territory, and for some time after the attack, their identities unknown to the west.
It’s certainly not beyond Iran and its proxies to keep someone hidden in total luxury for the rest of their life.
In a scenario where the perpetrators or planners have somehow made it to Iran and are known to the West, no, for sure, sovereignty will not stop the West from getting them.
And yet no one’s tried to collect the bounty yet as far as we know. And clearly not because of the skill and diligence of the United States Secret Service.
Pretty sure a DAO would solve this
Can…can I contribute to their Kickstarter?
When Trump said he would debate Biden anywhere, any time, I said Biden should agree to a debate in Tehran.
How would you even collect? Better yet, can you collect both this bounty and the $150,000 “posted” by his would-be assassin?
Probably by certifying intent beforehand and having them provide exit support so you can go to Iran and spend the rest of your life there out of reach of US retaliation, assuming a minimal willingness to hunt you down in a foreign nation.
Things would probably get complicated if the regime collapsed though, non zero chance those 80 million dollars would become useless as a new state tries to establish its own monetary policy, and that’s assuming they aren’t western friendly and decide to extradite you to curry favor.
You could make a PDF of the assassination plot, hash it, and get the hash timestamped. Then after the assassination, publish the PDF.
Man, people tried harder against Salman Rushdie for $6 million.
They should put more.
That shows you that life isn’t like spy and action movies.
