CRYPTO NEWSWIRE: New York Lawmakers Move to Crack Down on Crypto Kiosk Scams Costing Older New Yorkers Millions ALBANY, NY: At a press conference bi-partisan lawmakers proposed legislation that would strengthen safeguards around cryptocurrency kiosks. They said these crypto machines resemble bank ATMs and are used by criminals to get money from unsuspecting victims. Criminals, including international organized crime rings, target older individuals and direct them to use crypto kiosks for payments. According to FTC data, people aged 60 and over are more than three times as likely as younger adults to report losses using crypto kiosks, and older adults account for more than two-thirds of all reported dollars lost to this type of fraud. According to a 2024 FBI IC3 report they received 10,956 complaints involving crypto kiosks, with approximately $246.7 million in losses nationwide. The FTC also found, based on consumer reports, that kiosk related fraud losses have skyrocketed. In New York, the FBI reported 437 complaints in 2024, totaling $4.8 million in losses, with an average loss of $10,937. Cryptocurrency kiosks have quickly spread to everyday locations like supermarkets, convenience stores, gas stations, and pharmacies. Criminals, often posing as government officials or businesses, convince individuals that an urgent financial issue requires action. They are directed to withdraw large sums of cash from their bank and deposit it into a crypto kiosk. The money is then transferred to a digital wallet controlled by the criminal and the money is gone. These legislative measures aim to curb misuse, enhance transparency, and prevent criminals from exploiting these machines to steal from New Yorkers, especially vulnerable older adults. State Senator James Sanders Jr., Chair of the Senate Banking Committee, said: “The rise of cryptocurrency kiosks across New York has created new risks for consumers, especially older adults who are too often targeted by scams. As the Senate Chief Sponsor of S.9891, this legislation is designed to bring greater oversight, transparency, and accountability to this rapidly-expanding industry so New Yorkers are not left vulnerable to predatory practices."
