no, this is movie plot thinking.
Ha. That's a funny remark because I was just thinking that AP does sound like literary fiction so far.
Well, the idea has been kicked around for 20 years, and little has come of it. Maybe that's because it's still unworkable. How are people going to bid anonymously? Is Tor good enough for that? A viable AP market would draw TLAs to Tor like dogs to shit. And they would cooperate. Also, how would bidders pay anonymously when targets were killed? There is no inherently anonymous payment system that's widely available. Maybe anonymized Bitcoin, after a few mixes through Tor, would make the nut. Or maybe creative carding. Maybe y'all reading this could manage it. But what about the clueless masses who might be motivated to bid? I don't know whether AP would take down governments. Hell, I'm not even sure whether that would be prudent. But I am certain that many bidders would go down, through cluelessness or system compromise.
