Really...You pay a guy $50,000 to kill someone. Two weeks later you come back and tell him, nevermind I don't want him killed, can I have my money back? The outcome I see here is you getting killed and him keeping the money.

In regards to the bounty office. There are people actively hunting this guy that you have a bounty on. You suddenly yank the bounty on him...these guys are gonna be pissed off. The bounty guy has to cover his ass. The bounty office doesn't give a rats ass about you and changing your mind. He cares about profit, and his own ass.

As I said...it will never be truly anonymous, there will always be a way to find out who placed the bounty. Money buys information.
