- thebean11 5y agoThat doesn't help too much does it? Since you aren't permanently losing the money using a few 10s of thousands in cash isn't such a big deal.
- reedjosh 5y agoTrue, but at least you would need unique bills to run through, and law enforcement can then track those bills.

- Max_aaa 5y agoSo you basically need access to a cash business for a supply of fresh bills. Also for how long do they keep the serial numbers? After a certain amount of time it is possible for the same bill to enter the machine legitimately. (spelling)
- duskwuff 5y agoDoubtful. That'd require a custom bill mechanism, and Kraken noted that they're using a standard, off-the-shelf bill acceptor -- the same type you'd find in a vending machine.
