Klingt so, als hätten Regierungsangestellte das Eigentum eines unschuldigen Dritten zerstört und sein Geld gestohlen.

Unless it was the kiosk owner who was scamming this makes no sense. It’s like confiscating all the money from a CVS register after someone bought a bunch of gift cards to send to scammers.
Those machines need to just go away. And I don’t feel bad for the owners. They know damn well that their machine are major hot spots for scammers.
Reverse the polarity on the power cord and everything will be A-okay…
