A scandal has erupted in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug: the son of a school vice-principal organized cryptocurrency mining in a utility room, earning at least 1 million rubles. His mother, the deputy director, set up the equipment at her son's request, which led to serious consequences. The prosecutor's office accused her of abusing her official powers, and the case has already been sent to court.
Since January 2023, the mining farm has been illegally consuming electricity, causing damage to the school amounting to 680 thousand rubles. This amount was partially reimbursed by the accused during the investigation stage. The incident once again highlights the importance of compliance with legislation: legal entities engaged in cryptocurrency mining must register in the FNS registry.
Recent cases, such as the discovery of a mining farm in the Irkutsk region, show that the problem of illegal mining is becoming increasingly relevant. In Russia, 606 miners registered in five months, and regions such as Krasnoyarsk Krai and Tatarstan have become popular places for this activity.
