I hadn't considered the possibility of lying. Make that “You likely would do that if ..., and you likely wouldn't otherwise.” Also, the amount of money and/or the number of people killed can be raised as needed for rich people/people who could kill one person for money anyway.

(I would also usually specify "and there are no other consequences to you" as well given that most of the reason not to kill people is practical.)
