California orders Coinflip to pay $4.8M to Bitcoin ATM scam victims over fraud failures

California's Department of Financial Protection and Innovation ordered Coinflip to pay over $4.8 million to victims of Bitcoin ATM scams due to inadequate fraud safeguards. Investigations revealed Coinflip failed to properly identify users and prevent suspicious activities, allowing scammers to exploit customers, especially older adults. The order also requires Coinflip to pay over $350,000 in excessive fees and to stop unlawful practices. This action is part of wider regulatory efforts to protect consumers from crypto ATM fraud in California and other states.
