Fact-check findings
What an automated fact-checker found when it re-read BitcoinDepot against the sources the page cites. Only the most recent review is shown.
These findings are produced by an automated reviewer, and its results vary between runs: the same page, checked three times on the same day, came back with 15%, 20% and 34% of its claims disputed, mostly because each run extracted a different number of claims. Treat what follows as leads, not rulings.
“Disputed” means the reviewer could not reconcile the claim with the evidence it cited. It does not mean the claim is false. “Unverifiable” means no reachable source settled it either way.
Nothing here changes the page on its own. A proposed correction is applied only after a human moderator approves it; until then the page reads as it did when reviewed.
unverifiable
1 claimNo source the reviewer could reach confirms or contradicts the claim.

“alleged in a February 2026 lawsuit that more than 80% of the company's largest Massachusetts customers (those who spent $10,000 or more between August 2023 and January 2025) had been victims of scams, generating roughly $10.6 million in revenue”
reviewerMassachusetts AG alleged more than 80% of largest customers were scam victims, generating roughly $10.6 million, nearly 60% of MA kiosk revenuePrimary source blocked. ICIJ is consistent in spirit but does not contain the specific 80%, $10.6M and 60% figures; not scored against the page.

reviewerNasdaq suspended trading on May 26, 2026 (timeline entry cites a May 12, 2026 8-K)The suspension date is right, but the cited filing cannot support it. Search found no primary Nasdaq/SEC URL I fetched, so no replacement is proposed.

“Tennessee's statewide ban on crypto ATMs takes effect, following a similar ban in Indiana.”
reviewerTimeline lists Tennessee ban and Chapter 11 out of chronological orderNot independently fetched; page's own section text gives July 1, 2026. Noted only: the July 2026 entry sits before May and June 2026 entries, an ordering issue, not a factual error.
