叻丕府（Ratchaburi）是泰国曼谷以西的一个城镇。在居民抱怨持续停电后，官员捣毁了那里的一个非法比特币挖矿设施。

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.

泰国当局对叻丕府的一个比特币采矿作业进行了突袭，此前该地区发生了一个月的不明原因停电，后来发现停电是由非法采矿设施造成的。

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.

位于泰国曼谷以西的一个小镇，在居民开始抱怨持续停电后，官员们捣毁了拉差布里府的一个非法比特币挖矿设施。

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.

据《南华早报》报道，这次突袭于 8 月 23 日进行，发现的证据表明非法采矿作业可能是该地区长达一个月停电的罪魁祸首。

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

7月中旬，居民开始报告意外停电，这促使当局对此事展开调查。

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.

这些骚乱引发关注后，省电力局（PEA）和当地警方查明了一处房产停电的原因。

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

官员在检查该房产后发现，里面有一台比特币挖矿设备。

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.

地区首席安全官 Jamnong Chanwong 表示，鉴于该物业的用电量极高，而电费却低得令人怀疑，运营商可能一直在窃取电力来为其运营提供燃料。

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约四个月后安装了比特币挖矿设备。当局指出，主要电力中断发生在采矿作业可能满负荷运行的时间。

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，突袭行动并未导致任何人被捕，调查仍在进行中。据报道，经营者在得知他们的行为引起当局注意后逃跑了。

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.

据 Cointelegraph 报道，2018 年至 2023 年间，非法采矿作业从马来西亚合法发电厂窃取的电力估计高达 7.23 亿美元。作为回应，马来西亚政府采取了严厉措施，包括没收并随后销毁价值超过 120 万美元的用于非法操作的比特币挖矿设备。
