Entrapment only applies when the person wouldn’t have committed the crime without police encouragement
This is a honey pot.

Yeah, was this bloke a hit man before, and would he have become one if they hadn’t of created a website where you could receive payment for crime?
In other English speaking countries, a defendant can claim entrapment based on opportunity or inducement. Opportunity-based entrapment is when police provide a person with the opportunity to commit the crime without reasonable suspicion that the person was already engaged with the specific criminal activity. With inducement-based entrapment, police encourage a person’s illegal actions through deceit, fraud, or undue persuasion. To me this seems like both.
If a plainclothes cop says, “Thievery’s great. There’s a bloke who’ll give you 100 quid if you grab that bike over there” and then nicks you, you might be a little put out. Same dif, just with a website for the credulous.
Still, must be fine in the States else he’d be free
