A clandestine mining farm was found near the police department in Ulyanovsk
It was only 150 meters from the garage with the mining equipment to the police station. The hum of the equipment was spreading throughout the neighborhood. The Federal Security Service and the security service of the UlGES Municipal Unitary Enterprise worked at the site, and it was they who established the fact of the theft of electricity.
Now investigators are trying to determine whether the profits from the mining of cryptocurrencies were used to finance terrorism. It is not yet known whether the owners of the ASIC-mainers were identified, but according to Renat Valiullov, acting head of the security service of MUE "UlHPP", the owner was not found when the garage was opened.
In early February, law enforcement authorities of the Irkutsk region discovered two mining farms at once in the local mental hospital. The equipment was installed above the wards with patients, which could have led to a fire.
