Woman jailed after RentaHitman.com assassin turned out to be – surprise – FBI

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Zandra Ellis, of New Orleans, earlier pleaded guilty to transmitting threatening communications in interstate commerce and was sentenced by a US district judge on October 31.

After serving time in the clink, Ellis will spend an additional three years under supervised release and pay a mandatory special assessment fee of $100.

Note to would-be criminals: overtly illegal activities are rarely offered on the public internet; even on dark web, things like contract assassins tend to be undercover Feds as well.

Shortly after, RI called in the big guns, notifying the FBI National Threat Operations Center that Ellis was trying to hire a hitman to commit an actual murder.

According to court documents, Ellis told the undercover agent she had "been feuding with BH over social media because the two women had children by the same male who was not identified by name.

She also told the undercover g-man that her real name was Zandra Ellis, confirmed she wanted BH killed, paid him $100 for the hit, and agreed to pay the remaining balance in $250 installments every two weeks.
