According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Yaroslavl region, a resident of the Moscow region, previously convicted of fraud, earned about 5.2 million rubles from the fake sale of video cards for mining.

According to the indictment, between 2017 and 2022, the man bought accounts with positive reviews on the site, and then used them to fake the sale of video cards. When he received a full advance payment in cryptocurrency from the buyer, he stopped communicating.

In 2020, he convinced a resident of Irkutsk to buy 140 GPUs from him for more than 1.5 million rubles. Also, similar schemes were identified in relation to residents of Yaroslavl, Voronezh and Kazan. In September, the accused was detained at his place of residence in the Moscow region, taken and taken into custody in the Yaroslavl region.

Earlier it became known that the prosecutor’s office of the Tomsk region will conduct an inspection of the activities of Tomskvodokanal after local media reports about the possible operation of a mining farm on the territory of the water intake, as well as complaints from local residents. A large underground miner will be tried in Sakhalin – between December 2020 and the end of May 2022, he stole electricity worth 22 million rubles.
