Briton accused of hiring a Hitman on the darknet to kill ex-girlfriend American

The British 24-year-old accountant accused that he has spent more than $5000 in bitcoin on the darknet in an attempt to hire a Hitman to kill his American ex-girlfriend.

The name of Adrian Frye appeared in an article in Harper’s Magazine, which described the alleged threat to the Alexis stern, a graduate of high school of big lake, Minnesota. The leadership of the city police claims that the case was assigned to the FBI.

«I would never have thought to kill someone, I would never, never hurt you,» said Frye, who lives in bath. He called suggestions that he could kill someone, «nonsense».

It is reported that the pair chatted online before fry visited Minnesota in March 2018. Alexis claims that he no longer tried to control her, and she broke up with him during his visit. «I very clearly said I don’t want to be with him, and he told me that I had not thought of and make a mistake,» she told Harper’s Magazine. Stern argues that Frye continued to contact her even after returning to Britain he «did not take no for an answer.»

Then in July of that year, a user under the nickname Mastermind365 placed on a classified website, which offered killers, a message asking you to carry out the kidnapping.

After a week the same user wrote: «I changed my mind after our last conversation. I don’t want the wrong person was kidnapped. I just want to see him killed. What I don’t care. I just want that man died,» wrote the user. He transferred more than $5 thousand in bitcoin on the website along with the stern.

In Harper’s Magazine user message was sent by Chris Monteiro, a specialist in the field of information technology from London, which, according to the magazine, «spends his nights as an ethical hacker and independent researcher of cyber-crimes, which explores the space of the darknet».

Montero believes that the website was operated by the fraudsters, who really was not going to fulfill the orders.

However, stern called the local police where she was informed about the threat to life. After that her parents set in the house a new security system, and she began to carry in her purse knife.

When the girl showed the messages user Mastermind365, she said that it was fry. «It’s him», she said. A user wrote «thank you» as one word, how often did the fry, and the date of the order for the murder coincides with the day when she told fry that found with the other person.

In turn, the fry stated that these charges are ludicrous. «I may have bad grammar, but that doesn’t mean I’m guilty of ordering someone’s murder. When she told me about the new guy, I just deleted her pictures and messages. More I didn’t talk to her. Nothing called Alexis isn’t pointing at me. It’s just nonsense. It is clear that she is worried that someone wants to kill her and is looking for the extreme, which turned out to be me.»
