all powerful people are potential targets of assassination. if someone said “shinzo abe was assasinated”, would you respond “theres no way that could happen because no one could have confirmed that unless an intel insider was talking about it, and then that insider would lose their access really quick!!” i mean my god

There is a massive gulf in the power between a head of state and that of a tech company executive.

I wonder if this is crypto related? There seems to be an coordinated/ongoing government response to taking down crypto in the past several months. Maybe that's why they'd keep digs on him?

There's a bit of a difference between 'former head of state shot down in broad daylight' and 'company exec stabbed at 2:35 a.m. in the center of a major city'
