BTC fell below 11,800 USDT in the short term.

On August 15, the South China Morning Post reported that Hong Kong police arrested three men for HK $ 230,000 ($ 30,000) at Bitcoin ATMs. Police acted two days after receiving reports of two cryptocurrency exchanges. The exchange suspected the attackers had used an ATM "loophole" to withdraw money without authorization. Police declined to explain how the suspect rigged the machine. However, police also said they provided security information to both exchanges and believed they would update their system.
