FURTHER READING In Iceland, bitcoin mining will soon use more energy than its residents

Eleven people have been arrested in Iceland as a result of what local media are calling the “Big Bitcoin Heist”—600 mining computers were recently stolen from Icelandic data centers in four separate burglaries between December 2017 and January 2018.

According to the Associated Press, which cited Icelandic authorities, the heist is “the biggest series of thefts ever” in the island nation.

So far, a Reykjanes District Court judge ordered two of the 11 arrested individuals to remain in custody. Apparently, the specialized machines have not yet been located and are worth approximately $2 million.

"This is a grand theft on a scale unseen before," Olafur Helgi Kjartansson, the police commissioner on the southwestern Reykjanes Peninsula (where two of the burglaries took place), told the AP. "Everything points to this being a highly organized crime."

Given that electricity is relatively cheap in Iceland compared to other parts of Europe thanks to the country's plentiful geothermal energy, Bitcoin mining has been in high demand despite Iceland's population of just over 300,000 people. Later this year, Bitcoin mining is expected to draw more energy than all of its residents combined.

The majority of Canadian steel manufacturing plants are owned by a Russian with close ties to the Kremlin. It provided a back door entry through Canada's favored Nation status, for Russians to sell into the US market. But I suppose that doesn't mater to Democrats. Knowing that Hillary and her corrupt crew also sold 20% of American nuclear uranium to Russia. Paid $millions to have C Steel draft up a salacious document to use in trying to sway the outcome of the last election.
Crooked and dishonest and condoned by the DNC and it's party members. Says a lot on what the party stands for. The civil rights bill was presented first by Eisenhower , voted down by democrats. Then presented again by President Johnson. More Republicans voted for it than Democrats Had it not received the majority of support from Republicans in the House and Senate. Democrats would have voted it down again.
They were and still are the party of Slavery. Illegal immigrants they fight to keep in the Country are their new slaves. With No visas or citizenship illegals have no protection rights to even receive a minimum wage so they like slaves are financially exploited to serve their Democrat masters in order to eat and stay.
