⚠️ Thailand seized mining equipment worth $8.6 million. And this is not about 'crypto' — it's about criminal business.
Thai authorities conducted raids and seized 3,642 ASIC miners and related equipment worth around 300 million baht (~$8.6 million) at 7 locations, which, according to the investigation, were linked to fraudulent networks.
And here's what’s important:
it's not just 'illegal mining'. It's infrastructure.
🔹 Miners were placed in soundproof containers with water cooling — meaning this was a technically prepared base, not a 'garage operation'.
The police believe that mining there served two purposes:
1️⃣ Monetization of stolen electricity
If you steal power — mining turns it into money.
2️⃣ Financial 'laundering' through digital assets
When there is fraudulent money nearby — mining helps mix the flows and complicate the traces.
📌 Important lesson:
organized cybercrime today — is not 'scammers in chat'.
This is a business with physical infrastructure that is becoming increasingly resilient.
👉 Therefore, the main threat to the market — is not 'crypto as technology',
but crypto as a tool in the hands of criminal networks.
