Thieves steal 600 Bitcoin mining computers that's right a 600 Bitcoin mining computers the question is are they now on the second-hand market can we pick him up for cheap am i taking advantage of these stolen goods no I wouldn't do that guys I wouldn't do that the largest theft in Iceland's history occurred recently when thieves stole 600 computers that were used for Bitcoin mining from data centers Iceland's the largest theft in Iceland's history Iceland only has like half a million people one one years of a crime ring pulling off major heist at least a likely location for such a circumstance would be the island nation of Iceland this sparsely populated country of ooh I was way off 348 thousand people is most famous for being the birthplace of Bjork however Iceland was recently hit with the biggest crime wave ever as thieves stole six hundred computers used for Bitcoin mining rule a gang of thieves orchestrated four rounds of thefts of computers used for Bitcoin mining police state state that the computers were stolen from data centers in Iceland and that the crime wave is the largest one in the country's history well that's nice you now have a new precedent set in Iceland the biggest heist of all time Bitcoin miners
Two of the thefts took place on the wreck Llanes Peninsula probably said that wrong the police commissioner they're all for helgi yarc tan son says there is a grand theft on a scale unseen be I'd like to know everything points to this being a highly organized crime whoo theory of the burglary burglaries took place in December while the fourth one happened in January all told the six hundred computers are worth a combined to a million dollars Wow of course they could be used to generate for more money than that if they're actually used for Bitcoin mining and plugged in Icelanders are calling the crimes the big Bitcoin heist on my total of eleven people have been arrested so far with one of those detained to being a security guard isn't always that there's an inside guy there's always an inside guy two of those arrested I've been ordered to remain in custody by a judge none of the stolen 600 Peters have been found yet police are asking power companies to report any suspicious electric consumption in order to hopefully locate the computers if they're used to mine cryptocurrency trust me ain't no gun ain't nobody gonna be turned on that many computers in a small island state of 348 thousand people well definitely tiny by population standards Iceland is becoming a hot spot for cryptocurrency miners energy is cheap and Iceland due to the country's at geothermal and hydroelectric power plants is as a resultant in an influx of crypto miners moving into the country in order to lower their costs one wonders how the thieves plan on utilizing their stolen goods firing up 600 computers will definitely catch the attention of power companies who are then alert the police it may be that they'll be moved out of the country to be sold well guys if you see an influx of s 9 or that's just the Bitcoin miners on the market you probably know where they came from it came from the small islands state of Iceland well this is a sign of the times guys apparently it's still ridiculously profitable to mine Bitcoin oh that's right it is because I'm mining in its scale let me know your thoughts about this Bitcoin heist what do you think is gonna happen to those computers let me know in the comment section below smash the like button before Iceland it's a great place to mine apparently I wonder what it'd be like to live there I mean you kind of sort of like know everybody right
