"Russian Authorities Intensify Crackdown on Illegal Crypto Mining Activities"

Summary:

Russian authorities have ramped up efforts against illegal crypto mining, particularly cases involving misuse of state-owned electricity. A former executive from the Far Eastern Distribution Company (DRSC) in Amur Oblast was caught illegally mining Bitcoin using stolen electricity worth over 3.5 million rubles ($44,000). Authorities seized over $88,000 worth of BTC from his operations. He allegedly connected his apartment directly to the DRSC’s grid and also took bribes to expedite power-related approvals for businesses.#TrumpTariffs bi$BTC
