Deputy Warden Suspected of Mining Cryptocurrency in Moscow Prison
A high-ranking representative of the management of Butyrskaya prison, in the Tverskoy District of central Moscow, is under investigation for setting up a crypto mining farm. Also known as 布提尔卡, this is the oldest prison in Russia, built in the distant 1771.
The coin minting hardware was found in the premises of a psychiatric clinic run by the Federal Penitentiary Service at the prison. The Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation is currently checking one of the deputy wardens for possible abuse of power, the business daily Kommersant reported this week.
The investigators have so far established that the official, together with his accomplices who are yet to be identified, installed the mining equipment in November 2021. The rigs were extracting cryptocurrency until February of this year.
During that period, the machines consumed almost 8,400 kW of electricity paid by the government at a total cost of more than 62,000 rubles (close to $1,000). For this, the deputy warden is accused of “actions that clearly go beyond his powers, thereby significantly violating the legally protected interests of the society or the state.”
Crypto mining with subsidized and sometimes stolen electricity has become an attractive source of additional income for many Russians. Regions such as Krasnoyarsk Krai and Irkutsk Oblast, which have historically maintained low electricity rates for the population and public institutions, have become hotspots of the unauthorized activity.
Illegal miners have been blamed for frequent breakdowns and 停电, particularly in residential areas where electrical grids are unable to handle the 超负荷. To deal with the phenomenon, Russias anti-monopoly agency recently proposed the introduction of higher electricity rates for home crypto miners.
Raids have been carried out against underground mining operations across the country, with law enforcement agencies recently 抓住 over 1,500 mining rigs from two illegal cryptocurrency farms in Dagestan. One of them was minting cryptocurrency at a pumping station of the Russian republics water supply utility.
