Bankrupt Bitcoin Depot Faces $76,000 Bitcoin ATM Scam Lawsuit as States Step Up Enforcement
Bitcoin Depot faces a federal class action in Idaho after scammers used its crypto kiosks to steal $76,000 from a couple, as the company shutters its ATM network in bankruptcy. The complaint says Bitcoin Depot processed large, coached cash deposits without intervention. FTC reports Bitcoin ATM fraud losses soared to $65 million in early 2024.
