The world just ain’t like it used to be…these days you can’t get away with half of what you could 10, 20 or even 30 years ago…even if what you did was largely completely harmless.
As for damages…what damages? Maybe a little cleanup would be necessary, but I doubt any of these ATMs were actually physically harmed by the prank(s). I will admit that it’s a little bit irresponsible for the child to have actually done this internationally; but I suspect it wasn’t the same kid. I doubt one kid could’ve traveled the world to fish-tape ATMs thousands of miles away; and instead this is a rather large “group” of kids doing this for the lulz, and they only caught the one kid and are trying to make an example of him. >_>
