SEO Company CEO Contracts Murderers to Kill Competition, Client Exposes All

Coming from a post-Soviet period, I am surprised a bit that this doesn't happen more often. Company owners would be killed seemingly without much worry if they crossed anyone powerful.

I was doing homework one night and felt the house shake, I thought it was an earthquake. It turns out a bomb went off in a 5 story apartment building nearby. Someone was trying to kill a banker so they left a bomb by their door.

I was very suspicious when I read the article. It didn't seem to link to any government websites or newspapers, but I did find a story about the activity in the LA Times [0].

SEO is dirtier than I thought.

But not by much.

I just wonder if it's not sometimes better to be invisible, even if it means little poorer.

Yes, I'm surprised how celebrities and CEOs of big corporations live so long... In spite of the bodyguards.

It's hard to appreciate the sheer number of people that exist in the world... Surely there are enough crazy people to populate an entire city.

Is it possible that intelligence is inversely correlated with insanity? I thought it was the opposite.
