Attempted Bitcoin ATM Theft Causes $10,000 Worth of Damage in Texas

A group of criminals attempted to steal a Bitcoin ATM in Texas using a stolen pickup truck, causing $10,000 worth of damage. The Houston Police Department arrested seven suspects who crashed the truck into a smoke shop window in the southwest of the city. The group was unable to steal the ATM, but they did steal various tools from the truck's owner. Bitcoin ATMs have been targeted by thieves in the past, and they are also the target of online hackers looking to steal crypto being exchanged.

Mayday

Some of you degens were screaming “Mayday” as you watched crypto markets puke from mid-April until the present. There was so much pain that momentum-chasing paper hands like Irene Zhao proclaimed that they were “done” with crypto.
