Thai police recently raided and seized 996 Bitcoin mining machines suspected of stealing electricity

the Thai police recently conducted a surprise inspection in Chumphon Province and seized 996 bitcoin mining machines suspected of stealing electricity. The operation was jointly carried out by the second provincial police of Thailand and the provincial power bureau. It was found that these mining machines illegally obtained electricity by bypassing the meter.

According to sources, the mine only operates at night in order to evade regulation. In August 2024, Malaysia also destroyed nearly a thousand illegal mining machines in a similar case. Currently, the police have seized related equipment and launched an investigation.
