    Bitcoin price: Police find giant bitcoin ‘mine’ during warehouse drug raid (news.com.au)
    "Police were stunned to find a bitcoin “mine” stealing thousands of kilograms of electricity during a suspected warehouse drug raid."

    Whose planb is this?

    Britain's biggest illegal Bitcoin mine? Cops raid warehouse after noticing huge power surge and find stolen electricity was creating unregulated cryptocurrency - favoured by criminal underworld - on 100 computers
    • Officers forced entry to premises in industrial estate in Sandwell, West Midlands, on May 18 after tip-off
    • Police had heard of people frequently visiting and lots of wiring and ventilation ducts were visible
    • A drone also picked up a heat source from above, leaving officers to suspect it was a cannabis factory
    • But inside, they found a huge bank of around 100 computers, powered by stolen electricity
    nice but they missed a trick they could have grown something with the spare heat.
