The police conducted a raid on a warehouse and found 3,800 PlayStations running FIFA
The Security Service of Ukraine stormed a warehouse in Vinnytsia expecting to find a cryptocurrency mining farm
Instead, they found PS4 consoles stacked from floor to ceiling
Each of them was running FIFA 21 on autopilot, harvesting Ultimate Team coins 24/7 to sell on the black market
The operation was stealing $259,000 a month in electricity and causing blackouts throughout the city
The consoles alone were worth $1.5 million
EA earns $1.6 billion a year from Ultimate Team
The black market for FIFA coins is valued at over $200 million a year
At black market rates, 3,800 consoles harvesting coins 24/7 could generate between $3 and $5 million a year
Almost at the same time, a real EA employee was caught selling rare Ultimate Team cards for $1,000 each on the side
Even the people who created the game were running the same trick...
