Russian police investigate a large theft of crypto mining equipment in Siberia.
Russian law enforcement is looking into the alleged theft of mining hardware valued at around $1.9 million. The powerful computing equipment disappeared from a crypto mining hotel in Irkutsk, the owners of which have been accused of large scale fraud.
“A criminal case was initiated based on these facts under part 4 of article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation . Various material evidence, including computer equipment and documentation, was seized from their office,” a statement detailed. At the same time, they urged the miners to hand over their equipment as quickly as possible, citing limited renting space. The owners of the mining rigs were not told where their devices were going to be located and only representatives of the hosting service had access to the mined coins.
