Re: Spain – busted - Crypto ATMs used to launder narco money on a large scale
The police also decommissioned a bunch of crypto wallets, whose TXs add up to an equivalent of 9M Euros in a three month period. Pretty over the top it they wanted to stay under the radar.
Not the ideal news for BTC ATMs. These two ATMs now have the arguable honour of being the first ATMs to be detained in Europe (so as to say ).

9 million euros in 3 months through 2 atms? that'll never draw any attention!
Don't most bitcoin ATMs have cameras in them? They could probably check the timestamps of the transactions and look at the certain time frames in the video recording to determine who's behind the laundering.
all they'll have is pictures. they already have pictures from the fake IDs. in most cases, without additional links to their identity, this isn't gonna be enough to conclusively identify anyone.
