Texas Sheriffs Take A Saw To Bitcoin ATM

I kinda have a hard time with sympathy if someone thinks a legit company or service provider does business strictly in Bitcoin, gift cards, etc.

 

I use monopoly money from the Bank of Parker Bros.

 

I do not understand how a sheriff's department can legally break into someone else's property and confiscate all the cash out. The scammer still has the bitcoin they swindled.

 

Can't answer the legal question, but this action transfers the damage from the couple who got scammed to the owner of the Bitcoin machine - arguably an innocent bystander. And yes, the scammer still gets away with the filthy lucre. I smell a lawsuit.

 

Perhaps the victims should have bought $100 worth first, before they stuffed the machine with $25k.

 

Well, the real scam is BitCoin itself.
