A ringleader in a global monkey torture network exposed by the BBC has been charged by US federal prosecutors.
Michael Macartney, 50, who went by the alias “Torture King”, was charged in Virginia with conspiracy to create and distribute animal-crushing videos.
Mr Macartney was one of three key distributors identified by the BBC Eye team during a year-long investigation into sadistic monkey torture groups.
Two women have also been charged in the UK following the investigation.

So to be clear, you want this person killed because, over the course of his life in prison, they might cost you a dollar or two in taxes?
I know he’s a piece of shit but that’s not exactly a path of moral high ground. “Murder is wrong, unless it costs me a tiny amount of money, in which case fuck yeah let’s go”.

it costs more money to kill him though
How much to just torture him for awhile?
Depends on how often he lands in solitary I guess but probably less?
If you read past the headline you would know he helped take it down from the inside, he’s remorseful.
Or wanted a deal.
