The link you pasted describes a private conversation, not an actual event
or anything sold on the marketplace.

That could be interpreted as an incredibly successful killing.  It could
also be interpreted as quoting messages exchanged by account hackers to

If there were actual recordings of sold killings on the marketplace, they
would have used those real trade records, rather than a character-harming
quote unrelated to the charges.  The marketplace kept records to track
trustworthiness between users.
