Ever wonder how much money is being held inside of an Automatic Teller Machine (ATM)? 6 individuals, who might have wondered the same, have been formally charged in connection with "ATM Jackpotting" after allegedly stealing approximately $400,000 from ATMs in Central New York.

National Cash reports that more than 10 billion transactions are performed at AMTs in the United States each year. The majority of Americans between the ages of 25-49 withdraw an average of $400 each month. This is a very popular way to get quick cash, legally and illegally.

According to the United States Attorney's Office, Northern District of New York, 6 individuals were indicted for conspiracy to commit bank larceny as part of a Nationwide ATM Jackpotting Scheme.

ATM Jackpotting is when criminals alter an ATM in a way that will cause the machine to dispense cash to unauthorized users. Once the machine is altered a different different group of criminals arrive at the ATM and withdraw money that is not theirs, typically emptying the machine of all it's funds.
