突襲行動揭露了叻丕府的比特幣礦場

叻丕府（Ratchaburi）是泰國曼谷以西的一個城鎮。在居民抱怨持續停電後，官員搗毀了那裡的一個非法比特幣挖礦設施。

Authorities in Thailand conducted a raid on a Bitcoin mining operation in Ratchaburi following a month of unexplained power outages in the area, which were later discovered to be caused by the illegal mining setup.

泰國當局對叻丕府的一個比特幣採礦作業進行了突襲，此前該地區發生了一個月的不明原因停電，後來發現停電是由非法採礦設施造成的。

A town situated west of Bangkok in Thailand, officials busted an illegal Bitcoin mining facility in Ratchaburi after residents began complaining about continuous power disruptions.

位於泰國曼谷以西的一個小鎮，在居民開始抱怨持續停電後，官員們搗毀了拉差布里府的一個非法比特幣挖礦設施。

The raid, which took place on August 23, uncovered evidence suggesting that the illicit mining operations were likely the culprit behind the month-long power outages in the region, the South China Morning Post reports.

根據《南華早報》報道，這次突襲於 8 月 23 日進行，發現的證據表明非法採礦作業可能是該地區長達一個月停電的罪魁禍首。

Residents started reporting unexpected power outages in mid-July, which prompted authorities to launch an investigation into the matter.

7月中旬，居民開始通報意外停電，促使當局對此事展開調查。

After these disturbances sparked concern, the Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) and the local police were able to pinpoint the cause of the power outage to one property.

這些騷亂引發關注後，省電力局（PEA）和當地警方查明了一處房產停電的原因。

Upon inspecting the property, officials discovered that it housed a Bitcoin mining rig.

官員在檢查該房產後發現，裡面有一台比特幣挖礦設備。

According to Jamnong Chanwong, the chief district security officer, the operators may have been stealing power to fuel their operations, given the property's extraordinarily high electricity use and suspiciously low payments for that electricity.

地區首席安全官 Jamnong Chanwong 表示，鑑於該物業的用電量極高，而電費卻低得令人懷疑，營運商可能一直在竊取電力來為其營運提供燃料。

A firm installed Bitcoin mining equipment after renting the residence for about four months. Authorities noted that the major power interruptions occurred around the time the mining operation was likely running at full capacity.

一家公司在租用住宅約四個月後安裝了比特幣挖礦設備。當局指出，主要電力中斷發生在採礦作業可能滿載運轉的時間。

However, the raid did not result in any arrests, and the inquiry remains active. The operators reportedly fled after learning that their actions had come to the attention of the authorities.

然而，突襲行動並未導致任何人被捕，調查仍在進行中。據報道，經營者在得知他們的行為引起當局注意後逃跑了。

In Southeast Asia, an increasing number of operators are engaging in illegal Bitcoin mining, utilizing the region's cheap electricity to evade paying the high energy bills associated with the computationally intensive process of mining bitcoins.

在東南亞，越來越多的業者正在從事非法比特幣挖礦，利用該地區廉價的電力來逃避支付與計算密集型比特幣挖礦過程相關的高額能源費用。

Illicit mining operations are estimated to have pilfered electricity from legitimate power plants in Malaysia to the tune of $723 million between 2018 and 2023, Cointelegraph reports. In response, the Malaysian government has taken drastic measures, including the confiscation and subsequent destruction of Bitcoin mining equipment valued at over $1.2 million, which was used for illicit operations.

根據 Cointelegraph 報道，2018 年至 2023 年間，非法採礦作業從馬來西亞合法發電廠竊取的電力估計高達 7.23 億美元。作為回應，馬來西亞政府採取了嚴厲措施，包括沒收並隨後銷毀價值超過 120 萬美元的用於非法操作的比特幣挖礦設備。

Despite Thailand being generally more lenient toward bitcoin activities than other regional countries, this incident highlights the challenges in regulating such a dynamic and technologically complex industry, even as the Thai government has introduced several measures to protect investors and ensure financial stability.

儘管泰國對比特幣活動總體上比其他地區國家更為寬鬆，但這一事件凸顯了監管這樣一個充滿活力且技術複雜的行業所面臨的挑戰，儘管泰國政府已經採取了多項措施來保護投資者並確保金融穩定。

Financial authorities in Thailand have recently adopted a more crypto-friendly regulatory stance, with the Thai Securities and Exchange Commission easing restrictions to allow retail investors to access digital tokens backed by real estate or infrastructure projects, which became available in January.

泰國金融當局最近採取了對加密貨幣更加友好的監管立場，泰國證券交易委員會放寬了限制，允許散戶投資者獲得由房地產或基礎設施項目支持的數位代幣，該項目於一月份推出。
