🚨 Russia Just RAIDED a Secret 30,000 sqm Bitcoin Farm — You Won’t Believe This 🧵👇

1️⃣ Authorities just busted one of the biggest illegal BTC mining ops in Russia — hidden in plain sight in Siberia’s Krasnoyarsk region.

2️⃣🧊 Tucked away in the industrial town of Nazarovo, the site had: ⚡ 24/7 mining rigs
🔌 Stolen electricity
💰 Earning $58K+ a month — illegally

3️⃣The building? “Non-residential” on paper.
Inside? A full-scale BTC mine, wired straight into the state grid. No bills. No permits.

4️⃣Investigators found: ❌ Electricity theft

❌ Fake lease papers
❌ Land misuse
❌ Fire hazards
All after multiple ignored warnings.

5️⃣The local power company spotted wild surges and called it in.
The farm was draining so much juice, it almost blacked out the whole town ⚠️

6️⃣This isn’t new:
In February, a power worker got bribed to look away — that rig stole $119K in power alone.

7️⃣🔥 Krasnoyarsk joins Irkutsk & Tatarstan as illegal mining hotspots.
Now? The government’s cracking down hard.

8️⃣💥 Why it matters:
This isn’t just side hustle.
It’s theft. It’s dangerous. And it puts entire cities at risk.

9️⃣👀 Should crypto mining be more tightly regulated — or is this overkill?

In a notable deviation from its usual schedule, Ripple has unlocked 1 billion XRP from escrow, sparking speculation of a potential sell-off. Blockchain tracker Whale Alert reported that the release occurred on May 3, 2025, through three transactions—500 million, 300 million, and 200 million XRP—totaling over $2.2 billion at current market prices.

This release, two days later than Ripple's traditional monthly schedule, marks a rare shift in the company’s pattern. Since 2017, Ripple has consistently released 1 billion XRP on the first of each month as part of its plan to manage XRP supply and support market liquidity.

The escrow system was initially introduced with 55 billion XRP, set to release 1 billion monthly over 55 months, ensuring transparency and predictability in XRP’s circulation.
