This isn't the first time "tunneling" has appeared on HN, nor the first that it intersected with the techy/hacker community.

There was the case where a hacker who gave talks at Defcon built a tunnel, and paid someone to continue the work. The worker died and he went to prison [1]. There was some discussion about this case on HN in 2019 [2], and a Darknet Diaries episode about the whole multi-year scenario [3].

As someone who has always wanted my own underground bunker the advice here is clearly don't hire anyone, just do it yourself.
