US Charges 87 in Major ATM Jackpotting Scheme Linked to Tren de Aragua

A U.S. federal indictment charges 31 additional individuals (bringing total defendants to 87) in an international ATM jackpotting conspiracy tied to the Tren de Aragua gang; prosecutors allege the group used a Ploutus malware variant and coordinated physical intrusions (hard drive replacement, USB devices) to force ATMs to dispense cash, steal millions, delete evidence, and funnel proceeds to the organization, prompting a nationwide law enforcement response and potential long prison terms.
