Dartmouth, Massachusetts, approved a ban on crypto ATMs during a town meeting. They approved Article 24 to set up a bylaw to prohibit these machines from operating in the town limits, according to a report by AOL.

Under the bylaw, operators will have to remove the machines from Dartmouth. Police Chief Brian Levesque pushed for the ban by stating that multiple seniors have been tricked into giving away their life savings, including one up to $35,000.

"So, these aren't small sums of money we're talking about. That could be someone's entire life savings that gets taken from them," he told the news outlet.
