🚨 Illegal Crypto Mining Farm Busted in Russia — Hidden Inside a Truck
According to PANews, Russian authorities uncovered a secret crypto mining operation in the Republic of Buryatia during a routine inspection near Lake Baikal.
📍 The setup?
A Kamaz truck disguised as a mobile data center — drawing power illegally from a 10-kilovolt power line. Inside:
🔌 95 mining rigs
⚡ A mobile substation
🚙 The operators? Gone. Two suspects fled the scene in an SUV before police could arrive.
The case adds to a growing list — the Buryat Energy Company (subsidiary of Siberian Power Co.) says six such thefts have occurred in the region this year alone.
💬 As energy concerns and regulation intensify, expect more heat on illegal operations worldwide.
