The real crazy part is that it’d be perfectly legal for Joe Biden to issue the same offer, so long as it’s through professional channels as an official act. The SCOTUS said so. Hell, to make it crystal clear, just order it through the military and then watch from the situation room. He could take out a few SCOTUS justices at the same time. And then unilaterally dictate that that sort of shit is not legal going forward. Best October surprise ever.
I am taking you read the recent news about Clinton and the October Suprise?
Iran should have put some of that money in advertising because I didn’t know of this.
How would you even collect? Better yet, can you collect both this bounty and the $150,000 “posted” by his would-be assassin?
Probably by certifying intent beforehand and having them provide exit support so you can go to Iran and spend the rest of your life there out of reach of US retaliation, assuming a minimal willingness to hunt you down in a foreign nation.
Things would probably get complicated if the regime collapsed though, non zero chance those 80 million dollars would become useless as a new state tries to establish its own monetary policy, and that’s assuming they aren’t western friendly and decide to extradite you to curry favor.
You could make a PDF of the assassination plot, hash it, and get the hash timestamped. Then after the assassination, publish the PDF.
Can…can I contribute to their Kickstarter?
Is it still up, because that could explain things.
That and who thinks Iran would even be able to pay up?
If they did, I bet it would be one of those enormous cheques, like on Publishers Clearinghouse
The Iranian Ed McMahon comes to the assassin’s door…
Why wouldn’t they be able to pay up?
Why would they have to? The second the assassin revealed themselves to collect, they would be the most hunted person on the planet.
Iran’s soft power is only as good as its word.
They’d be in Iran.

And then Iran would be a pile of rubble.
I’m assuming a scenario where the perpetrators are killed on the scene, and the actual masterminds are already in Iran or in Iranian proxy territory, and for some time after the attack, their identities unknown to the west.
It’s certainly not beyond Iran and its proxies to keep someone hidden in total luxury for the rest of their life.
In a scenario where the perpetrators or planners have somehow made it to Iran and are known to the West, no, for sure, sovereignty will not stop the West from getting them.
And yet no one’s tried to collect the bounty yet as far as we know. And clearly not because of the skill and diligence of the United States Secret Service.
When Trump said he would debate Biden anywhere, any time, I said Biden should agree to a debate in Tehran.
Man, people tried harder against Salman Rushdie for $6 million.
That shows you that life isn’t like spy and action movies.
They should put more.
