Man facing child porn charges paid $20K in Bitcoin to have victim killed — before calling it off

[mind the gap]

A New Jersey man has been sentenced to more than six years in federal prison after exchanging sexually explicit videos and images with a 13-year-old New York girl and later paying $20,000 in Bitcoin to have her killed, eventually calling it off.


John Michael Musbach, 34, of Haddonfield, received his 78-month prison term Tuesday during a court hearing in Camden, according to federal prosecutors. He will also have to serve three years of supervised release after prison.


Musbach pleaded guilty in February to using interstate commerce facilities in the commission of a murder-for-hire plot.


He began communicating online with the girl in 2015 and eventually began using those chats to request and receive sexually explicit videos and photographs of the girl, and send her similar videos and images of himself. The girl’s parents discovered the nature of the chats and notified law enforcement in New York state, where they lived.


Musbach was arrested on child pornography charges in March 2016 and pleaded guilty to child endangerment in October 2017. He received a two-year suspended prison sentence and was placed on lifetime parole.

Would have loved to have seen dudes face when reading Admins last message.

What a terrible, miserable human being.

There wouldn't be many objections if the fake hitman site was re-purposed, and they pretended payee and payer were transposed, scare the life out of the assholes, or just go ahead and kill them for real, send the money to the intended victim.

No one would mourn John Michael Musbach
..

Was he just taking a fun break from poisons when he googled "Kill all Jews"?

Some humans are hate-filled monsters and need to go.

Wow, that's a crazy story! It's hard to believe the lengths some people would go to. The world of crypto can sometimes attract the wrong crowd due to its privacy features, but it's essential to remember that the technology itself is neutral – it's how it's used that matters.
By the way, speaking of cryptomixer, for those of us who value privacy and security, using a crypto mixer can be a smart move to keep our transactions discreet.
In any case, it's crucial to promote the responsible and legal use of cryptocurrency and ensure it doesn't fall into the wrong hands.
