Bulgarian ATM Experts

Blind Phillip next door and sidekick Nyoman have not been so entertaining recently because he's not drinking, but Kelly and I have had some nice sober chats with him while he stood in the pool listening to his radio, Nyoman sitting nearby on call in a sun chair. He still can't use his card at an ATM, only in stores, because he says some Bulgarians have emptied a bunch of bank accounts here by fixing ATMs and getting a camera honed in on the place where people write their pin code. I go to a bank ATM with a guard and haven't heard of this nullifying other people's cards but I have heard of the empty accounts. Phillip said the head Bulgarian account thief is in jail now.
