The Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation spokeswoman, Irina Volk, stated that the police detained two people related to the mining farm found in an abandoned factory. As reported in the Russian media, more than 6,000 mining devices were found in the city of Orenburg. Reports also contained a recording of police raids. According to reports, rumors about the mining farm appeared in early March, but the police refused to verify them. The farm has stolen electricity worth 8 million kWh for an estimated cost of 60 million rubles.
This is not the first time that the Russian authorities have closed the illegal operations of extracting cryptocurrencies. In February, the police arrested several scientists working at the nuclear weapons research institute for using supercomputers to mine cryptocurrency.
