Normally, Spanish ATMs impose a regular limit of 1K Euros per operation, and by law do not require using an ID unless you are going to convert over 2,5K Euros. I figure (the sources I’ve seen and read did not specify) that they combines smaller TXs, but also some larger TXs via the usage of fake IDs; all in order to make their daily 100K Euro quota.

The IT shop reminded me of one of those phone parlours, where a lot of shady stuff goes on behind the scenes. I guess that at some point they will rise the requirements to install one of these machines, or lower the value that is transactionable in “b rated” type of commerce.

That’s introduces another debate: Is Russia considered Europe ? (total/partial)
