There is no real consensus so far on whether the guy was a professional hitman.
Even if it were a professional hitman, they would probably charge way more for taking retard risks to begin with:
- A fairly high profile target
- Having to shoot the target outside of a major hotel
- Having to shoot the target in the middle of NYC
- Have to leave bullet shells at the scene of the crime which are inscribed with an ideological message
If this were a professional hitman they would probably refuse the job because its just taking too many risks. The CEO faggot lived in a normal house in suburbia somewhere and there would be a million ways to do this far more easily and with way less risk involved instead of doing it in the middle of NYC.
edit: I think even if a real ass crack addict gangbanger was approached for this job and offered like 500k they would be like "naw nigga I ain't frontin that shit... CEOs n' sheiit boi I'm out, you straight bussin ma nigga, you cray cray" and immediately turn state witness - you have to be a retard to take on this kind of risk level of getting caught and making mistakes.
