    The classics are the point. These aren’t meant to be secretive killings, the signature is the message.

    They would use a different method if they wanted to obscure responsibility, dispose of the body, or do any number of things differently. Because they didn’t, means it was a public signing statement.

    Whether it was intended for one recipient, or many, who’s to say. Either way, you can be sure the intended party, or parties, received it.

      Sure, but would it kill them to spice things up every once in a while?

        It’s unfortunate that this method was initially used because it was an intentionally ambiguous method of assassination, whereas now it’s a signature assassination, with only a sprinkling of ambiguity for their local media.

        Just think, if they had started with tragic hot air balloon accident, death by misadventure with a jet ski, or pet bear mauling?

        Do you often find yourself in tall buildings and alone with oligarchs or siloviki?

        If so, sure why not.
