Deep Tide TechFlow News, on January 9, according to the Bangkok Post, Thai police recently conducted a surprise inspection in Chonburi Province and seized 996 Bitcoin mining machines suspected of stealing electricity. This operation was jointly executed by the Second Provincial Police of Thailand and the Provincial Electricity Authority, discovering that these mining machines illegally obtained electricity by bypassing the electricity meter.

According to informed sources, the mining operation only takes place at night to evade regulation. In August 2024, Malaysia also destroyed nearly a thousand illegal mining machines due to similar cases. Currently, the police have confiscated the relevant equipment and launched an investigation.
