A great lesson to other cheap Bitcoin scammers Grin
Well from the op the scammer actually got away, the victim lost the case. If we take a look at the source, she woman is definitely a victim, since the money wasn't returned to her, but the story is written in a complex manner, so it is really hard to understand what exactly happened. I guess she was scammed while buying bitcoins and she was put under pressure as a new immigrant, so she feared the threats of deportation for not paying taxes. So, I guess someone just told her to put money into btc atm and send bitcoins to the address (supposedly, to pay taxes), but it was all a scam. I think it's unfair that she lost the case, because threats and a person pretending to be from authorities sound like crime to me. She'd probably get her money back if it was all in fiat, and discriminating cryptos like that is cruel.

The OP is not very clear but i suspect that she was asked to pay fiat into a bitcoin atm and send it to the scammer. Firstly if the victim was able to understand how to do a bitcoin transaction then she must be smart enough to know that the government will never use bitcoin.

Threads like this one should be in "press". Next time don't post it here.

People are dumb. Now you know why so many fall victim to cryptocurrency scams if they think that a stupid machine like an ATM will do due diligence for them. Next time you get scammed via email, make sure to sue your ISP, or even better, sue the keyboard manufacturer. Grin

I understood this in such way that the woman lost the case because the money was still not withdrawn by the scammer and most likely they are still in the hands of the ATM company. It is possible that in this way the woman lost her money, but the scammer can not be identified.
