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 today.
Samuel Kioskli, 64, of San Francisco was wanted on a warrant when he was arrested during a routine traffic stop in Phoenix on May 11, 10 months after the thefts, said San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
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.
The next day, Kioskli "abandoned his wife and disappeared," Wagstaffe said. His wife reported him missing, and angry Bank of America customers contacted the bank to complain about the fake money, authorities said.

The Guy was an ATM repairman, don't you think he would know how they worked? Some crooks are to stupid for words.
Oopsey!
What a clever dick!
"What... will... you... do... ?"
I thought you needed two people to open the cash area of an ATM?
If only the Fed would be brought up on charges.
Apparently not.
You know, this guy worked for Diebold, the same company that makes electronic voting machines. He stole this money 10 months ago and he was only caught by accident. Makes you wonder how secure our election system really is.
