🚨 Russia Busts Massive Illegal Bitcoin Mine — 30,000 sqm!
One of the biggest underground crypto mines just got shut down in Krasnoyarsk, Russia — and it’s straight out of a movie. 😳
🔍 What Happened?
Authorities raided a 30,000 sqm hidden Bitcoin farm running off stolen electricity — worth over $58K/month in BTC.
Disguised as a regular industrial site, it was packed with cooling systems, transformers, and illegal power connections.
👮 They uncovered:
⚡ Power theft on a citywide scale
🧯 Fire safety violations
📍 Abuse of state-owned land
🧾 Fake building lease
Even after warnings, the operators didn’t stop. So prosecutors stepped in and shut it down.
💣 Why It Matters:
The illegal setup almost caused city blackouts. A similar case earlier this year revealed ₿BTC 119K in stolen power in the same region.
Krasnoyarsk now ranks among Russia’s top 3 crypto mining hotspots — but regulators are cracking down hard.
🔑 Bottom Line:
Off-grid mining is risky, illegal, and hurts crypto’s reputation.
As the market grows, so does the need for clean, legal, and sustainable mining.
