Bitcoin Depot was once the largest Bitcoin ATM operator in North America, operating more than 9,000 kiosks before filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on May 18, 2026. The company faces lawsuits from the attorneys general of Iowa and Massachusetts alleging it knowingly facilitated crypto scams, with one state finding that more than 80% of high-value transactions at its kiosks were linked to fraud. Multiple data breaches, a $3.6 million wallet theft, regulatory enforcement in California, and on-chain evidence flagged by ZachXBT further document systemic compliance and security failures.
avoid.net/noones→18/100[CRITICAL]Noones is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency trading platform targeting Africa and the Global South, founded and initially led by Ray Youssef, co-founder of the now-defunct Paxful. In January 2025, the platform suffered an $8 million hot-wallet exploit that was concealed for nearly three weeks before on-chain investigator ZachXBT publicly exposed the breach. Compounding platform risk, Youssef was subsequently indicted by the DOJ in early 2026 on federal AML charges stemming from his leadership of Paxful, and stepped down as Noones CEO shortly thereafter.
