Venezuelan Gets Record Federal Prison Term for ATM Jackpotting

Juan Manuel Gouveia-Aguilera received an 8-year federal prison sentence for participating in an ATM jackpotting scheme that resulted in millions of dollars in losses. The sentencing represents a record penalty for this type of financial crime.

Why it matters: Financial institutions and law enforcement personnel should understand that ATM jackpotting attacks face serious criminal consequences, and banks operating vulnerable legacy ATMs remain targets for organized fraud schemes.
