Possible morals for this story:
1. If you want something done, do it yourself.
2. If you pay below-market rates, you'll get below-par execution.
3. There's much to be said for direct employment.

Of course, offering too much also runs the risk of “Chinese Whispers” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_whispers) the initial message “Foo will pay $X to kill bar” could end up as “bar will pay $x to kill Foo”.
For this story though... 4 out of 5 people subcontracted to another hitman. First anecdotal story I've seen that could be statistically significant.
Heh.
Alternative 2 to 2; If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself.
