Real crews on the street do indeed pay hitmen. http://blogs.vancouversun.com/2013/04/04/suspects-in-duhre-m... the cost is $15k for a regular guy in the game and up to $100k for ranking crew members. They don't advertise on the internet. They are always ex cons and other crews will use them, they are completely independent and not loyal to anybody (surprise, no loyalty in the hitman industry).

This isn't the first time organized online crime has mirrored it's real life equivalents. There was that guy who designed ATM skimmer devices (Cha0) who kidnapped and beat a guy suspected of being an informant.

Interesting how fast DPR slid into gangsterism guess it comes with the territory of running an online cartel
