Crypto miners made $100K at an Airbnb, running a $1.5K bill for host

Ashley Class, an Airbnb host, discovered that her guests had set up a cryptocurrency mining operation at her North Carolina property, leaving her with a $1,500 electricity bill, having made $100,000 from mining there. The guests used at least ten computers for mining.

After providing footage from her outdoor cameras showing the guests bringing in computers and setting up an electric vehicle charging station, Airbnb held the guests accountable, and they paid the bill. To prevent such incidents, Ashley added new house rules for no crypto mining and no electric vehicle charging.$BTC
