That's a surprisingly low amount. I'd've guessed $100k+ or more.

That is average. Since no one will investigate the death of a some low level guy with criminal history (just gang warfare for redistributing the market) I guess you could find them on the low end. And that leave some bigger sums for the high profile targets.

Lower still in places like Amsterdam. Really.
