This is absolutely peak HN. I thought I had seen everything. A person is asking HN how to contact a cartel in order to improve their business "for safety". I am strictly commenting here so I can return to it in the future for a good laugh.

I'm glad it's been entertaining. This is the first time I've posted anything to HN that's gotten any real engagement/interest and I've thoroughly enjoyed the discussion.

Between the above comment, and this one:

I am now fully confident this is satire.

Well played. 20/10. You had me going for longer than I care to admit. Best HN troll I've seen.

I intentionally tried to keep it light / humorous to have plausible deniability. "I'm sorry your honor. This was just an elaborate joke that got out of hand."

Given that this is now obviously a joke, maybe dang should flag the thread again, given that I don't think HN is meant for such kinds of trolls.
