Your naiveness is super precious. You can't see someone with incredible amounts of wealth hiring someone else to make a problem go away?
OK! Next time, you should try a couple of Google searches before wasting all that time typing out nonsense. I didn't even finish the first page of search results, there were so many. And they are just the ones dumb enough to get caught.

You watch far too many movies, making you adorably naïve.
Did you even read this link? It wasn't a hit ordered by an exec, it was an exec that was killed in a hit ordered by the husband of his ex-wife.
Again, did you even read this link? This isn't an executive in a multi-billion dollar defense contractor. This is an "executive" at a family-owned auto dealership.
Another one I know you didn't read. Again, this isn't a multi-billion dollar defense contractor, this is a tiny company with only 50 employees. And, most importantly, he tried to hire a hitman and failed.
Yet another one you didn't read. Yes, it's "Amazon", but it's Amazon Mexico. The hit happened in Mexico City. It was also his wife that he arranged to have killed, not an enemy of Amazon's business. And, importantly, if his goal was to get away with murder, he failed. The hitman he hired testified against him.
If you think this happens, find an example where it's:
You probably believe you can find one of those, because you're adorably naïve and watch a lot of exciting movies. But, I'm betting you won't find any. But, great job googling "exec" and "hitman", you really showed your google-fu. I just wish you'd read the links you posted and saved me some time.
