Publisher Trust
Ethics & Independence
The Bitcoin ATM industry includes operators, vendors, public companies, regulators, plaintiffs, defense counsel, victims, and advocates. Our job is to make the record legible without letting commercial relationships steer editorial conclusions.
Editorial Independence
News coverage, trust scores, and investigations are not sold.
Operator listings, sponsorships, or commercial relationships must not determine whether we cover a story or how we frame verified facts.
Conflicts And Disclosures
Relevant business relationships, partnerships, or direct involvement should be disclosed where they could reasonably affect reader trust.
Opinion, analysis, and advocacy should be labeled so readers can distinguish it from straight news reporting.
Source Handling
We protect source context and avoid overstating what a document proves.
We seek right of response when practical for serious allegations, especially when claims are newly surfaced or not already addressed in public filings.
Consumer Harm Coverage
Fraud and victim stories are handled with care. We avoid implying that a pictured person, location, or stock image subject is a scam victim unless the source record supports that claim.
