Meet The 'Assassination Market' Creator Who's Crowdfunding Murder With Bitcoins

Ben Bernanke has an almost $75,000 price on his head, placed there by anonymous malcontents online. He's the biggest - but far from the only - target on Assassination Market, a "dark web" site that lets users nominate targets and contribute money to the cause using theoretically untraceable bitcoins. Kill a target and prove it - by naming the time of death beforehand via encoded message - and you can claim the reward. The site is the work of a self-proclaimed "crypto-anarchist" who goes by the alias Kuwabatake Sanjuro, and he gave an email interview to Andy Greenberg at Forbes.
