Major Illegal Crypto Farm Discovered in Selangor

In Selangor, Malaysia, a group of local “vigilantes” and the building’s owner uncovered a massive underground mining setup. Unofficial reports suggest the perpetrators installed over 10 specialized rigs with advanced cooling systems. Power consumption at the site was reportedly equivalent to operating dozens of heavy-duty air conditioners simultaneously.

According to local media, the organizers built partitioned areas connected to the electricity grid without proper metering. The tenant allegedly failed to disclose that the unit was being used for cryptocurrency mining. The property owner claims total ignorance of the secret farm and is considering surrendering the equipment to offset the electricity company’s potential losses.

Experts note a rising trend in discovering illegal mining operations, particularly in regions with lower power tariffs or lax oversight. Law enforcement urges landlords to verify the actual use of leased spaces. While the exact damages remain undisclosed, industry insiders speculate the losses could amount to several hundred thousand monetary units.
