Most usage of Bitcoin ATMs (they're actually "reverse ATMs"0 in America is for these scams. Eliminating them would be a great start; they really have no legitimate purpose.

A while ago, some police department simply seized them and the cash inside and reimbursed victims with the proceeds thereof.

I didn't know that they (the reverse ATMs) were being outlawed until i saw a Kitboga + AARP interview on youtube the other day.
