A lawsuit was immediately filed against a Texas entrepreneur. He was accused of violating several laws and forced to close the site.

However, it remains unclear how the authorities will be able to counteract the killer sites if they start working from abroad. In addition, the police may be interested in the technology of remote murder of criminals: there are prerequisites for this .
