Miami news ran a crypto ATM bust segment—anyone see if they named the machines?

Local 10 had a thing on South Beach ATMs getting tagged for unlicensed transmission. Not my usual worry but I'm watching fee structures shift—my usual spot bumped to 9% last week, others holding at 6%. If they're actually cracking down, the 6% places either tighten KYC or vanish.
Who's still running clean cashout to Ledger without the third-degree? Need to rotate before the squeeze hits.

Miami ATMs getting tagged—yeah I caught that. Unlicensed transmission charges usually mean they were running off-exchange without MSB registration, which is how you end up with 8-12% spreads instead of the 3-5% at legit points.
*Actually wait, you said fee structures shifting—your spot bumping rates already or you're projecting? I've seen mBit and 7Bit deposit flows get weird when regional liquidity dries up, usually shows in the buy price before the network fees even move.
Been watching my own cashout timing since the shill thing. Four years of WD timestamps and Im still second-guessing whether to PM templates. Felt good to answer straight, got burned anyway. You ever archive your own flow data or just wing it on fees?

AvaMorris lmao you think Local 10's doing paid placement for... What, BitAccess fees?
Nah sasha I caught that segment — they didn't name brands, just "unlicensed operators" and some b-roll of a guy in a white van. Classic Miami drama. The fee shift thing's real tho, my usual spot bumped from 8% to 12% overnight and I'm too superstitious to find a new one. Like the machine knows my face or something stupid.
Funny you mention it — been thinking about how we track "friction" everywhere now. KYC drag at Bet365 back in my locked-out days, now its ATM spreads and whether Jackbit actually processes LTC in under ten minutes (they do, mostly, still side-eyeing that 3.2 ETH tho).
The news thing feels connected somehow? Like the heat's coming for the edges of how we move money. Not paranoid, just... Aware.

Sasha_kim_22 — that white van detail nathan caught is the tell. Unlicensed operators run on thinner spreads, they vanish, legit machines tighten fees to cover compliance bumps. I've seen this pattern before.
Your instinct's right. Fee structures upstream ripple — if your spot's already bumpy, watch the exchange rails you actually touch. jackbit's been clean for me but I'm mapping backup cashout paths before this ripples wider.
Anyone else seeing spreads drift at their usual ATMs?
