Oh c'mon, share your crazy idea.I don't expect any earth shattering news to come from this disclosure. Well, maybe only one crazy idea that I have had for a while now. But we will see!

I won’t say who, so I dont get kicked out, but I think it was a hit paid for in bitcoins.Nope., it will just get me kicked off I am sure.
Bitcoin seems to be a popular method of payment for hitmen, fwiw, imo.I won’t say who, so I dont get kicked out, but I think it was a hit paid for in bitcoins.
I thought they would be more expensive, wonder if you pay double for two.Bitcoin seems to be a popular method of payment for hitmen, fwiw, imo.
A few of them listed
Dark Web Hitman Paid $12,000 In Bitcoin To Attack An Enel Exec’s Ex-Girlfriend With Acid, Say Police
2021
''A 40-year-old Italian man was caught paying a dark web hitman €10,000 ($12,000) in cryptocurrency to assault an ex-girlfriend with acid and to put her in a wheelchair, according to Europol and Italian police.
That man, according to local reporting, was Tommaso Girotti, who was an executive in charge of a digital branch of the $100 billion energy giant Enel that covered health and safety, services and security.''
Europol confirmed the unidentified woman was not harmed as one of its agents was able to trace the payment and identify the hitman’s client before any hit took place''

Man accused of paying hitman $20,000 in Bitcoin to murder his child abuse victim
''A New Jersey man is accused of seeking to hire a hitman on the dark web in order to kill a boy he had abused.''

''The government says that Ross William Ulbricht, the alleged founder of the Bitcoin drug market Silk Road, tried to pay to have two different people killed in the last year. The second attempted murder was described in a criminal complaint unsealed by the government earlier today. But the government says that was preceded by another murder attempt, whose details are described in an indictment just published by the Baltimore Sun.
According to the government, Ulbricht was duped: the man who arranged the first "murder" was really an undercover police officer.''
Barry Sherman’s will divided his estate among Barry and Honey’s four kids when they reach 35 years of age
''Honey Sherman had no will. Barry had two. Most of the slain billionaire’s estate is wrapped up in his private companies and, so, documents unsealed by a court Friday list assets of just $124 million.
That was what the judge who sealed the Sherman estate files in 2018 referred to in open court as “chump change” for wealthy people like the Shermans. Barry was the founder and owner of Apotex, a generic pharmaceutical giant. His wife Honey was, like Barry, a well known philanthropist.''
The Supreme Court has ruled to unseal files related to the murder of Barry and Honey Sherman - ON Point with Alex Pierson - Omny.fm

''Alex talks with Kevin Donovan, the Chief Investigative Reporter for the Toronto Star about the mass amount of files that have been unsealed by the Supreme Court regarding the Sherman murder case. So finally after over 3.5 years, we may finally get some answers.''
This is behind a paywall, but I think we all remember this older article:Honey Sherman had a will she updated shortly before billionaire couple slain, confidant reveals
The article said the family couldn’t find a will for Honey, but a ‘service provider’ that worked for Honey said she spoke of having one. Quote from article:
“According to comments made by Honey before she died, she did have a will.
Roughly a week after the Nov. 13, 2017, birth of the Sherman couple’s third grandchild, Honey told one of her confidants she had just that day “updated” her will at a lawyer’s office.
“Honey and I were talking and she said meet me at Yonge and St. Clair Avenue. She said she was just coming from her lawyer’s office and she had just updated her will. She had done some amendments,” the confidant told the Star. “Honey said she wanted me to first go with her to Loblaws to get those frozen croissants from Ace Bakery that she liked, then we would go to her home.”
The Star has agreed not to identify the person — we will refer to the person as one of Honey’s service providers — due to the individual’s concern for safety. The person provided a regular service to Honey in her home for several years and the two had regular conversations during these times.
The service provider gave this information to the Toronto homicide squad shortly after the murders.”
If Honey didn’t have a will, would everything she owned automatically go to Barry, so they just use his will to dispense the wealth? Or would Honey’s estate get divided equally among her kids and Barry’s estate get divided according to his will?
Why did the family want this will to remain secret? Did they not want their addresses disclosed? Or is there something more. Did Barry have another child that no one knew about? Were we to assume that when it said he left everything to his kids, that there were just 4? By making the will public will we find out that there were more?
If she made some amendments, that must mean she had a will. But evidently no will could be found. Assuming a lawyer had drafted her existing will, I assume that lawyer would have gone to LE to tell them he/she had drafted or was in possession of a will. So I have to conclude KD’s reporting that she had a will was incorrect. If HS had told this person she had made amendments, why would she lie about that? So I have to assume HS friend is either mistaken, or made the story up.
The person went into so many details and some of them can be verified by the police. (The purchase, for example. And Honey had to have parked. They must have been caught on CCTV if true.)
If it’s not true, the question becomes why lie about it. Why go to Donovan with the story?
The other possibility is that she had discussed the will, ordered the documents drawn up but she hadn’t yet signed them.
I have a question: would her visit be privileged? Are lawyers allowed to say ‘this person visited me for this purpose’ prior to their deaths?
I know the police can request and receive health records, including doctor’s notes, with the proper warrants.
I would have thought the same thing might apply to lawyers, but look at what happened at Barry’s office and his electronic devices after the murders. The police didn’t have immediate, unfettered access.
surely, some lawyer would know if she ever did a will.............
