True, but the maximum single transaction on an ATM usually isn't that high anyway, so they wouldn't need much in. Which makes me wonder how many times they had to do it, if they really did steal "millions".
I have absolutely no idea how ATMs work though; from the sounds they make I thought it only put the money in the ATM 'distributor'
after it was possible to cancel. But maybe that's the sound of it filling the distributor back up. Maybe the distributor, which they gained access to, has a huge pile of cash, thousands, regardless of the transaction amount.
