BTC miner paid a large sum to a company connected with its head

BTC miner transferred Stone Tower Air LLC $1.65 million for airline services. Stone Tower Air LLC and Mike Levitt were also contacted and explained that the flight services were used to save time.

Mike Levitt’s connection with the air company helped Core Scientific enjoy charter flights much cheaper.
