Kazakhstan Busts $16M Illegal Crypto Mining Ring

Kazakhstan’s Financial Monitoring Agency (AFM) and National Security Committee (KNB) have uncovered a secret crypto mining operation that stole over $16 million worth of electricity. The hidden mining farms were quietly running around the clock. The operations had drained power from the national grid without paying a dime. Once a global hotspot for Bitcoin mining, Kazakhstan has been tightening the reins on the crypto mining industry to protect its energy supply. The nation has started an extensive crackdown on illegal setups.
