[...] I wonder why they still haven't done anything to Bitcoin ATMs.

Are there anonymous Bitcoin ATMs? IIRC pretty much all ATM providers both in the Americas and in Europe follow KYC procedures of some sort. At least I'm not aware of any that don't. Granted, the effectiveness of said KYC procedures may vary, but at least there are some in place.

I believe there were some Bitcoin ATM's in spain not too long ago which were confiscated by the police there because they were used to "launder" drug money -- they probably didn't have KYC.
Also i believe that if you pay using IBAN here, you can do X amount without external verification.

As it stands they don't know (yet) who ran the service, right? Or did I miss this in the reports? So far it seems like they only got the servers.

...As Dutch media reported, no arrests have yet been made in the Bestmixer case, as Europol officials attempt to determine the extent to which criminal money laundering was used on the site...

So europol probably has some idea of who the owners are, but at the same time admit to not having the evidence to indict/search for them?

"As they attempt to determine...<...>"
Pffrt. that really is an awkward way to put a company out of business like that.
