What can we do?

When discussing cryptocurrency scams and crypto ATMs, it’s a question I hear all the time.

No one acting in good faith needs a crypto ATM for legitimate purposes. The fees are astronomically high. Why would any consumer pay 30–50% usage fees when they can complete the same transactions elsewhere at a fraction of the cost? It doesn’t make sense.

*** If anyone tells you to send money via a crypto ATM, it's probably a scam. ***

How do we protect our citizens from these crypto ATMs - especially the most vulnerable: seniors, who are disproportionately targeted and harmed by fraud?

First, what NOT to do: don’t unplug, pry open, or tamper with these machines - you will get sued. That’s a fact.
I get it - the money is in there. Your victim’s money. It’s frustrating, but I promise you, the lawsuit will be much worse.

The federal government won’t act. There’s been talk, but it’s lip service that never sees a vote.

Some states have tried, but too many measures are just licensing fees or taxes - a revenue play that does nothing for consumer protection. A few states actually get it right and require real protections - transaction limits, clear on‑machine warnings, and better cooperation with law enforcement. But those are the exception, not the rule.

Waiting on the federal government or your state to tighten the rules means more victims.

The answer? Regulate at the city level. Local governments can move faster and tailor rules to real‑world harms.

My recommendation: an outright ban.
Ban the machines and you’ll see an immediate drop in these crimes in your city.

Is this possible? Yes - and it’s already being done.

Look at Spokane, Washington. Their City Council voted to ban crypto ATMs after extensive testimony about fraud and consumer harm. That’s a community choosing to protect its residents.

If your community has crypto‑ATMs, this is your solution. Organize, bring the data, brief your council, and pass targeted, enforceable protections — especially to safeguard our seniors. If this makes sense to you, please share this post and help other cities empower their councils to act. Local action works.

Bringing this back for #NationalFentanylAwarenessDay Brian Townsend's (@Eagle6Training) 1 minute summary of the fentanyl crisis.

What started as a "light hearted take on myths of LE" got serious at around 8:35 - and #IsItJustMe? was too important to cut:

March was a busy month for me with seven opioid/fentanyl presentations. I was at the Kansas Narcotics Officers Association annual conference; York County Community College in Wells, Maine; Kansas City (Missouri) PD Regional Police Academy; Fairfax County (Virginia) Fire & Rescue Department; and Alexandria (Virginia) Sheriff's Office.

I have now presented this program in six states to hundreds of people that have hopefully taken the knowledge and conversation much further.

My next scheduled event is May 4th in Joplin, Missouri. I will be a speaker and panelist for a prescription misuse & fentanyl awareness town hall that evening.

If your agency or organization is interested in a comprehensive presentation on opioids/fentanyl, let me know. There is no cost.
