After the Chernihiv Oblast, Ukraine has closed another illegal cryptocurrency mining farm in the city of Vinnytsia near Kyiv. The underground mining facility is said to be the largest in the country wherein 5000 computers, 50 processors, 500 graphic cards and 3800 PS 4 consoles were being used.
The Ukrainian Security Service estimates that as much as $ 259,300 worth of electricity was called for mining operations and this was being concealed with the use of electricity meters that did not reflect the actual consumption. The Vinnytsia mining gang bust-up is part of the government’s continued crackdown on illegal Bitcoin mining operations in a country that is also one of the leading adopters of cryptocurrencies in the world.
