    Is there a smaller payout if we just deport him and dump him off at The Hauge?

    We could feed two birds with one scone. Take the money and build some affordable housing.

      The bounty is posted by Iran… wouldn’t it be better for everyone if we dropped him off at Tehran?

    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.

    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

          Why would they have to? The second the assassin revealed themselves to collect, they would be the most hunted person on the planet.

              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.

    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.

    When Trump said he would debate Biden anywhere, any time, I said Biden should agree to a debate in Tehran.
