The Las Vegas Sun has the story of a would-be-hitman who did what ever self-respecting entrepreneur does first after starting a business: he setup a website. His website Hitmanforhire.net.
We all nurse private ambitions. Essam Ahmed Eid, a 53-year-old Egyptian man living in Vegas and dealing poker at the Bellagio, dreamed of becoming a hit man. He longed to take off the casino clown suit, the Nehru shirt and simpering smile — and replace them with a gun and a grimace.
So Eid did what any enterprising 21st century contract killer would: He created a Web site — www.hitmanforhire.net — and waited for the clients to come.
They did. And what happened next went so wrong, backfired so badly, that it was the subject of almost every cover article in every newspaper in the country — Ireland, that is. That’s where Eid’s final contract to kill flopped fantastically.
