No, this isn\u2019t a new Anderson Paak<\/a> video. In a bizarre scene, footage shows a Bitcoin ATM<\/a> spewing heaps of cash in a shopping centre nearby London\u2019s Bond Street train station, while a security guard does their best to keep onlookers at bay.<\/p>\n

The video of the curious incident was first posted to Reddit<\/a> late yesterday.\u00a0A man is seen desperately trying to catch as many flowing bank notes as possible with a duffel bag placed in front of the machine (spoiler: it doesn\u2019t work).<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

While Redditors speculate bad actors could have caused the eruption with \u201cjackpotting<\/a>\u201d (a term for hacking ATMs to dispense money on command), Shitcoins Club<\/em> \u2013 the Polish company handling the machine \u2013 told Hard Fork the withdrawal was intentional.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything was going well during this transaction,\u201d the Shitcoins Club rep told Hard Fork. \u201cAs you can see there is a bag in front of the ATM.\u201d<\/p>\n

Strange shit has happened to this Bitcoin ATM before<\/h2>\n

Curiosity has surrounded this exact ATM before. Roughly one month ago, a suspicious image of an unknown user accessing the machine was shared to social media<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A private key for DASH cryptocurrency was also displayed on-screen, which appeared to have resulted in the theft of a small amount of cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n

The firm later explained the peculiar activity was the result of a coin maliciously stuffed into the machine\u2019s banknote acceptor, which had jammed it.<\/p>\n

IT staff were reportedly forced to carry out maintenance remotely, as the building it\u2019s located in only allows physical work on weekdays.<\/p>\n

The Shitcoins Club rep further claimed the publicly displayed DASH private key was part of the company\u2019s procedure, and not a mistake.<\/p>\n

There is so much cash in these \u2018shitcoin\u2019 machines<\/h2>\n

Data from CoinATMRadar<\/a> shows there are supposedly 60 Shitcoin Club machines scattered across Europe, a third of those concentrated in the firm\u2019s native\u00a0Poland.<\/p>\n

This places Shitcoin Club in the top 15 cryptocurrency ATM manufacturers in the world.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson previously claimed<\/a> its ATMs are \u201cthe only ones in the UK which can handle large cash withdrawals,\u201d and that its ATM at Bond Street station held \u00a330,000 ($38,000) around the time of the jamming incident.<\/p>\n

Still, it\u2019s not every day you see an ATM fire out bank notes in view of a confused public\u00a0\u2014\u00a0<\/span>and as a mall cop attempts to secure the (duffel) bag, no less.<\/p>\n

This Bitcoin BTC<\/a> bull market is weird.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
