ATM REPAIRMAN ACCUSED OF LOADING FAKE MONEY
You don't often hear of ATM company employees getting sticky fingers, but here's a story from San Francisco about a man who tried to get away with the real cash while leaving poorly-made counterfeits behind.

An employee of an ATM servicing company has been charged with swapping $200,000 in fake bills for real cash at machines in Daly City and San Francisco, a prosecutor said Thursday. Kioskli was an employee of Diebold, which services ATMs for Bank of America. On July 4, Kioskli went to six bank branches in San Francisco and one in Daly City and stole about $200,000 by replacing cash in the machine trays with counterfeit or photocopied $20 bills, Wagstaffe said. Kioskli used his work card key to access the ATMs and was captured on video at all seven locations, authorities said. The next day, Kioskli "abandoned his wife and disappeared," Wagstaffe said. His wife reported him missing, and angry Bank of America customers contacted the bank to complain about the fake money, authorities said.
