[The UK issues its first cryptocurrency ATM indictment, accusing a resident of using an illegal ATM to launder £300,000] Golden Finance reported that British police issued the country's first cryptocurrency ATM indictment after accusing a resident of operating an illegal cryptocurrency ATM and laundering £300,000 ($395,000). The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) issued a cryptocurrency ATM ban in 2022, warning machine owners that they must register with the FCA. Subsequently, the regulator launched a crackdown on unregistered cryptocurrency ATMs. The FCA emphasized in the indictment: "There are currently no cryptocurrency ATMs registered with the FCA, so if you use one of these machines, you may be handing over funds to criminals."
