Two accused in $119,200 ATM jackpotting scheme at western Oklahoma banks

Two people are accused of taking $119,200 from ATMs at three western Oklahoma banks in a series of attacks spanning 12 days in 2025, according to FBI documents reported Oct. 21, 2026.

The alleged method, known as “jackpotting,” involves placing hidden technology or malware in an ATM so it dispenses cash without a valid customer transaction. Investigators linked the cases using bank surveillance footage, the documents say.

Each suspect faces five federal charges. The case is at an initial indictment stage, and trial and sentencing details have not been determined. The allegations have not been proven in court.
