Yeah.... I'm not clicking that link. I'm sure I'm on enough watchlists as it is. I do recall a paper which suggested that sort of thing, though... Anonymous "bets" that such and such politician would die on such and such date, and then someone comes along and collects the "winnings".
Too bloodthirsty for me, but I can definitely see how it could be done.
the author of that paper was recently released from prison ; )
see? no worry. in +- 10 years you'd be free again
To the extent that I know, they used his tax stance as an excuse to cage him. They of course added a zillion charges on top of that, and the trial against this guy... it would not be inaccurate to describe it as "kangaroo trial".
Clearly what he wrote terrified many a psychopath in power.
