ATM Repairman Swaps $200K w/Funny Money



Sammy Kioskli
This story caught my eye as an ATM repairman was arrested for allegedly taking $200,000 from bank of America ATMs in and around San Francisco, last summer. Authorities say that 64 year old Samuel Kioskli replaced the stolen 20 dollar bills with crude photocopies.

The bank made sure that none of their customers got stiffed with the bogus bills. Kioskli made his mistake when he skipped town, leaving his wife behind. He was automatically being sought as a missing person.

Cops caught up with him in Arizona. He'll be in court on Tuesday where we will see that stealing from a bank is frowned upon, unlike when the bank is stealing (with a bailout) from us.
