17 machines seized in California. The owner was running the operation
without complying with proper AML requirements, the Department of
Justice said.
In June, news.Bitcoin.com reported that U.S. regulators had been targeting
bitcoin ATMs. According to blockchain analytics firm Ciphertrace, 88%
of funds that U.S.-based BTMs sent to exchanges in 2019 were sent
offshore and users on average sent more funds to high-risk exchanges
than low-risk exchanges.
