1️⃣A massive illegal crypto mining operation has been shut down in Russia's Krasnoyarsk region — and it’s one of the biggest in recent memory.

We’re talking about a 30,000 sqm farm stealing power, risking blackouts, and hiding in plain sight. 😳

2️⃣📍 Located in the industrial town of Nazarovo, Siberia

⚙️ The site was packed with generators, transformers, cooling systems — all running 24/7 to mine Bitcoin

💸 Earning over $58,000/month — illegally.

3️⃣Despite being surrounded by barbed wire, the building was registered as a “non-residential property” — but inside?

A full-blown mining farm, illegally hooked into the state power grid.

4️⃣👮 Investigators discovered:

Stolen electricity
Fire safety hazards
Fake leasing documents
State land misuse
Repeated violations despite legal warnings

5️⃣💣 More shocking:

The local energy company noticed unstable power surges and tipped off prosecutors.

This one operation was consuming so much energy, it threatened citywide blackouts ⚠️

6️⃣And it’s not the first time.

🧑‍💼 In February, an energy staffer was caught taking bribes to ignore illegal rigs.

Those rigs alone stole $119,000 worth of BTC in electricity!

7️⃣🔥 Krasnoyarsk is now one of Russia’s top 3 crypto mining hotspots, along with Irkutsk and Tatarstan — but regulators are cracking down HARD.

Unlicensed mining = serious crime.

8️⃣💡 Why It Matters:

Illegal mining isn’t just “extra income” — it’s:

Risking blackouts
Damaging infrastructure
Endangering lives
And gaming the system

Governments are no longer looking the other way. 👀

9️⃣🗣️ What do YOU think?

Should authorities have tighter control over crypto mining?

Or is this too harsh?
