Today’s criminal mastermind: fake money in the ATM

And by “mastermind” I mean “idiot.”

ATM repairman accused of loading fake money.

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….

[Samuel] 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.”

What was he thinking? I’m serious. Did he actually think he’d get away with it?
