Adam is absolutely right.... Even if a killer is so anonymous that she can't be linked to a given crime by the employer who will talk 99.9% of the time any pressure is applied, she must still continue to accept various contracts. The police would then set up one of their stings & "hire" her anonymously for another job & snatch the killer up when she attempts to fullfill this contract. Likewise, the very first offer of employment may well be of this sort.
Once again (and hopefully for the last time!), I reiterate that it is the person *placing* the contract who is at zero risk (except for the risk of losing their digital cash). Stings can be set up to catch the killer, but providing the person doing the hiring trusts no one but himself, there is no risk to him. To the extent that there is *any* risk to this person, the goals of crypto anarchy have not been met. This pertains to every conceivable security leak that might affect the person placing the contract.
