I wonder if the hitman is the one who notified the BBC. Seems like a better way to make some money than actually, you know, doing the job.

(not implying that the bbc gave him any money)

To me, it sounds like BBC knows more then they let on. Could BBC have been running a undercover investigative story? It just seems too unlikely they could get the hitmans bitcoin address without being somehow involved.
