Are peers also thieves? The "Mining Farm Heist" in Shenzhen's urban villages.


Impression is particularly deep. It was in 2019, in an inconspicuous alley in Longgang, Shenzhen, where a low-profile miner lived.
People outside only see an old residential building; who would have thought that inside it are hundreds of mining machines, buzzing all day long, with heat waves coming through the walls. The boss is particularly cautious and doesn't dare to bring friends over too often.
But there are some things you can guard against strangers, but not against peers.
That night, someone in the village saw several trucks parked at the alley entrance, and a dozen or so young men in work clothes got out, wearing identification that looked like they were from the power department for an inspection. No one thought much of it. In the middle of the night, the neighbors heard loud banging from inside and thought the boss was moving equipment.
The next morning, the boss pushed the door open and was stunned; millions worth of Mining Farm machines had been emptied, with not even a screw left on the ground, and more than half of the network cables hanging on the wall had been pulled away.
After the alarm, the police investigated for several months, and in the end, the person they caught was not an outsider, but the owner of another Mining Farm. That person spoke without any embarrassment: "The market is not good, I can barely hold on, so I just wanted to borrow some equipment first."
Hearing this, the boss smiled wryly: "Colleagues are also thieves."
After seeing this, you'll understand that in the crypto world, it's not just about guarding against market fluctuations; sometimes you really have to watch out for the people around you. #BTC# #ETH# #PI# #PIJS#
