The 4 Teams’ Final Exit Timeline (confirmed Nov 2025)
- Dec 2025 – Jan 2026 → harvest Capital One + TD hard
- Feb–Mar 2026 → switch full-time to Australia + Spain
- Apr–Jun 2026 → final run on Thailand/Mexico + Poland
- Jul–Dec 2026 → all teams permanently exit physical skimming → corporate ghosts + biology farms
Bottom Line
- Chase / Wells Fargo / Bank of America indoor = already 87–93 % physically impossible
- The last real windows are Capital One cafés, TD Canada, Australia, Spain, and parts of Thailand/Mexico
- Live ARPC cloning still gives 12–21 hits → but only until the metal cages finish rollout
- After Q3 2026 → zero physical skimmers on Earth will produce a single usable dump ever again
