Crypto Industry News:

The police in China reported evidence that people are laying cables through fishponds to steal energy from oil wells to drive Bitcoin extraction. The news was published by the Chinese tabloid The Global Times.

The report indicates that the Green Grassland police station in the Qiqihar district was notified of alleged power theft after receiving a call from the oil production chief at Daqing Oil Field - the largest oil field in China, located in Heilongjiang Province.

In order to investigate the allegation, the police allegedly conducted an air investigation using drone in the area of two kilometers and apparently collected sufficient evidence to construct a criminal case. Global Times does not provide details about suspects or the scale of alleged theft of electricity.

In October 2018, a Chinese citizen was sentenced to three and a half years in prison for stealing power from a railway station to drive Bitcoin mining. In Taiwan, in December last year, the citizen was arrested after accusing him of the theft of electricity for the extraction of Bitcoin and Ethereum with a total value of over 100 million yuan (14.5 million dollars). In February this year, a group of suspects was arrested in the German city of Klingenthal in Saxony, after accused of stealing electricity worth more than $ 3 million for mining operations of cryptocurrencies.
