#美国探讨BTC作为战略资产的可行性 There is a quite eye-catching case in Russia. The police have just detained 7 individuals — all from the Moscow regional branch of the Russian power grid. These guys are suspected of helping illegal mining farms open doors.

From ordinary electricians to senior engineers, the range of positions is quite broad. Their methods are also quite aggressive: manually modifying meter readings, helping to evade inspections, essentially using public resources to support black market mining farms. Once such incidents are exposed, the vulnerabilities in the energy sector are laid bare.

The preliminary loss is 10 million rubles — while this figure may not seem astronomical, it highlights a serious issue: the mining industry’s dependence on electricity resources makes it difficult for some local law enforcement agencies to prevent such activities. Especially in countries where regulation is still in development, these incidents occur frequently, reflecting the enormous gravitational pull between energy costs and mining profits.

From an industry perspective, this actually serves as a reminder: for cryptocurrency mining to develop sustainably in the long term, the energy problem must be addressed at the source, rather than risking illegal channels. Standardization and transparency are also protective barriers for mining companies themselves.
