A man in Virginia Beach, Va., was caught on a surveillance video walking into a gas station, inserting a card in an ATM, and punching in a series of numbers to break the machine’s security code.

Then he’s seen reprogramming the machine to dispense $20 bills as it records them as $5 bills.

The altered ATM kept coughing out big bucks for eight days – when a customer reported that it was malfunctioning.
