The Massachusetts prosecutor's office reported about the bust of a secret group of illegal miners, led by a former employee of a local school, Nadeam Nahas. He is accused of running an illegal BTC mining operation at the school's crawlspace.
What made Nahas' operation particularly illegal was that he had connected 11 ASICs to the school's network and hidden them near the ventilation system to muffle the noise.
The case even caught the attention of the Department of Homeland Security, as the mining rigs had been in operation for three months, causing the school to rack up a whopping $17,492 in damages for the stolen electricity.
