A man surnamed Zheng and others in Taiwan set up a virtual currency mine to steal electricity. They set up eight mines in Taichung and stole nearly 80 million New Taiwan dollars (about 2.51 million U.S. dollars) of electricity. After investigation, the prosecutor's office prosecuted Zheng and five others, and considering that the wires of two mines were close to melting and could cause public danger, the court was requested to impose heavy penalties.
