I am about the last person in the world who would agree with that statement!

I suspect it's not a _government_ honeypot. I haven't been promoting AP in the
last 1.75 years. (Since I left that "gated community", FCI Sheridan, Oregon.)
It's hard for me to imagine why a government (primary example, the U.S. Federal
Government) would want to give publicity to my AP idea, when I was not doing so
myself. Moreover, 'Sanjuro' (the pseudonymous operator of AM) has included a
statement that the fund would pay off also if the target dies by ordinary,
innocent, and natural means. (Rather than paying only on a deliberate
killing.) If this is truly a honeypot, then presumably the purpose would be to
catch donors/predictors to the system. Adding that rule, that all predicted
deaths would lead to a payment, would make it very difficult to assign legal
liability to any such donor. It would look too much like simple gambling, or
for that matter life insurance of an odd sort. (I anticipated precisely this
tactic in 1995-96.)

As simple as doing Google "Assassination Market".
