Not just vegetables. Summer residents near Irkutsk mined millions in crypto and were charged
Enterprising summer residents have mastered the trends and earned some money, but have attracted the attention of law enforcement.
Details of the case were disclosed on the Telegram channel of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for the Irkutsk Region.
Summer residents from SNT "Angarsky Bereg" organized a mining farm. We are talking about 238 units of digital equipment.
To power it, the craftsmen connected to the power grids that supply the population of the Irkutsk region.
In this case, payment was made at a preferential rate. As a result, the total amount of damage was estimated at 68 million rubles. A criminal case was opened on the fact of fraud.
This is not the first such case in the region. Earlier, law enforcement officers opened criminal cases on the fact of illegal consumption of electricity in the dacha non-profit partnerships "Uyutnoye" and "Molodezhnoye".
Vladimir Putin drew attention to the problem of shadow activities of miners in the Irkutsk region and a number of other regions of the Russian Federation. They consume a significant portion of electricity, which provokes an energy deficit.
