⛏️ An employee of a mining company secretly mined 1 BTC using the employer’s equipment.
In 2021, the man gained access to 100 company miners and redirected their computing power to his own pool, and sent the mined BTC to his own wallets.
To increase productivity, he switched the equipment to an enhanced mode, significantly reducing its service life.
As a result, he misappropriated 1 #BTC worth ~$53,000 at that time. A few years later, the man pleaded guilty; he faces up to a year in prison and a fine of up to $100,000.
