#数字资产市场动态 Russian law enforcement agencies recently launched a large-scale investigation, detaining 7 employees from a major power grid company's Moscow branch. Among the arrested team are ordinary electricians as well as highly skilled senior engineers— all suspected of assisting illegal mining operations.

These insiders employ quite covert methods: manually tampering with meter data, helping mining farms evade law enforcement inspections, and even assisting in avoiding regular patrols. As a result, the combined losses to the power company and the state are initially estimated at 10 million rubles.

This case highlights a phenomenon— as the costs of mining increase, some mining farms have started to resort to illegal means, with internal personnel cooperation playing a key role. For the entire crypto industry, this also serves as a reminder of the importance of compliant operations and risk reduction.
