Wot. This dude managed to get some kiosks in freakin malls without a business license? I'm not even mad, that's impressive.. impressive how the malls have been so careless to the point that they conducted business with some dude without a license.
I really don't know what this dude was thinking though. Did he really expect to not get caught? I would understand if he did everything online, but we're talking about physical bitcoin ATMs. Literally thousands of people pass by those ATMs by the daily LOL.
While reading the article, the same questions occurred to me. It's just a matter of time before you get caught while carrying out such machinations in the United States.
I think there is every chance that he will make a deal with the investigation, given that he had connections with criminals. So maybe his prison term will be reduced. But I doubt that he will live to old age.
