    One way they could do it:

    • assassin writes down their plan, including time, place, method, and payment address
    • assassin hashes plan, then time-stamps and publishes the hash
    • assassination takes place
    • assassin publishes plantext plan and link to hash, proving beforehand knowledge
    • sponsor pays assassin without even having to know who it is
