Is it just me, or does $500 seem like a bargain to kill someone and firebomb their home?
When the investigation into the murder-for-hire scheme revealed the suspects in this case were hired for anywhere from $500 to $1,000 to kill the intended victim, I was stunned.
This was not a Hollywood movie, where a mysterious individual pulls into a dark parking garage and hands over a bag of money to a hit man to snuff out a person that's proven to be expendable.
No, a local business owner ALLEGEDLY asked a younger subordinate (and family member) to find some guys and rub out a man who ALLEGEDLY had a former relationship with his current wife.
The go-between knew some "guys" who could do this, arranged the hit (complete with code words and all) and waited for it to be carried out.
All this for $500?
Even the getaway driver was reportedly promised $100.
Are you serious?
Does this concern anyone else but me?
Are there people in this town willing to end someones life over the price of a video game console or iPhone?
Come on, hold out for more money, after all we're talking about a crime that carries a pretty hefty sentence if you're caught.
For the man hired to carry out the hit, he was killed.
Put a price on that.

Update!!!
A search warrant obtained by ABC23 shows that Giangrossi had a safe full of cash at his house.
How much??
Try $183,000 dollars.
That's right, it's not a misprint.
Maybe the guys should have held out for more money.
Or maybe the cash was being held until they were sure they got away with it.
Or maybe he was planning a big purchase.
Or maybe he was hiding cash from the IRS.
Or maybe he didn't trust the US Banking system.
Or maybe he was a straw buyer in local real estate and he was storing his profits.
What do you think??
Mike, This is a great post. I've read it a few times. You've heard me make some comments around the office.
What you have written really sinks in as to the state of society, the economy, and the low value many have placed on fellow human lives...
$183,000 is a lot of clams, that's for sure.
Somebody is going to end up with a nice wad of cash to spend on herself.
Uh oh...somebody is moving/hiding assets. $183,000 is just a drop in the bucket compared to what's being shuffled around.
