A guy tried to hire a hitman to kill someone. He chose, guess who??
RICHARD MARCHINKO, the Rouge Warrior.
Well, I have to admit, if you want a killer, why not aim high.

In early 1994, Dr. Armondo Soto- Barbarra (Soto), who had known
Morin for a number of years and was fifteen years his senior, invited
Morin, age 20, to move into his apartment in California to look after
his wife, Ms. Raghnild Perstolen, while Soto went to the Philippines
to manage a clinic. Morin claimed that Perstolen seduced him and that
he fell in love with her. She denies this. Psychiatrists delivered con-
flicting testimony as to whether an affair likely took place or was just
a product of Morin's delusional disorder. Morin also claimed that Per-
stolen led him to believe that Soto had abused her. While Soto
remained in the Philippines, Morin decided to hire a"hit man" to kill
Soto. In furtherance of that plan, Morin contacted Richard Marchinko
in New York. Marchinko was the author of a book about counter-
terrorist activities in Vietnam. Marchinko referred Morin to Steve
Hartman, a private investigator in Virginia whose company special-
ized in, among other things, surgical shooting. Morin traveled to Vir-
ginia to meet Hartman and tried to hire him to kill Soto.
Hartman contacted the FBI, who arranged to put Morin in touch
with an undercover agent posing as a hit man. Morin telephoned the
agent, discussed the murder plan, and set up a meeting at which
Morin would pay for the "hit" and provide the killer with a ticket to
the Philippines. Before the meeting, Morin sent the"hit man" a 13-
page letter listing "Target Information/Pictures" and "Proposed Sce-
narios" for the murder, including a suggestion for "one large caliber
shot to the back of the head." In late June 1994, Morin flew to Vir-
ginia and gave the "hit man" $1400 cash and a round- trip ticket to the
Philippines. Morin was then arrested.
I think its kinda funny. Weird, but funny.
