Indiana bans virtual currency kiosks

The law makes it illegal to operate a virtual currency kiosk in Indiana. A kiosk is an electronic terminal that lets people trade virtual currency for cash, bank credit, or other virtual currency. The ban applies to anyone who operates or tries to operate a kiosk for pay.

Tough penalties for illegal virtual currency kiosks

Violating the kiosk ban is a deceptive act under Indiana’s consumer protection law. The Attorney General can sue kiosk operators and can also sue a property owner who knowingly or intentionally allowed the kiosk. If a court finds a knowing or intentional violation, it can order you to give the state the charges you collected, forfeit any kiosks you own in Indiana, and pay the Attorney General’s investigation costs.
