In an affidavit filed in U.S. District court today, investigators tell of the seven-month investigation into Joseph Burke, who offered to kill the target—who was actually an undercover agent—on behalf of another man, who was also an agent working undercover. At stake was up to $100,000 that would be taken from the victim.
“You might know some rich people who want to get out of a marriage,” Burke allegedly told the undercover agent in a recording in March. Making a gun shape with his hand, he said, “I’ll do this all day long.”
The agent working with Burke told him that the target was messing with his business, and Burke agreed to do the hit, according to the affidavit. The pair checked out the target’s supposed office in New York City and discussed how the agent would pay for the hit. Burke allegedly suggested borrowing money from the target, who would be dead when the loan came due.
