Thai Authorities Cracks Down on Massive-Scale Illegal Bitcoin Mining Operation

泰国当局严厉打击大规模非法比特币挖矿活动

Bangkok, Thailand - Thai police have conducted a major raid on an illicit bitcoin mining operation, confiscating approximately $1.9 million worth of equipment, authorities announced on Friday. The operation targeted a disused ice manufacturing facility in Samut Sakhon, located in western Thailand, after receiving intelligence regarding unusually high electricity consumption.

泰国曼谷 - 当局周五宣布，泰国警方对一个非法比特币挖矿作业进行了大规模突击搜查，没收了价值约 190 万美元的设备。在收到有关异常高电力消耗的情报后，这次行动针对的是位于泰国西部龙仔厝 (Samut Sakhon) 的一个废弃的制冰设施。

"We uncovered a total of 690 (bitcoin-mining) units," Samut Sakhon City Police Chief Pichetpong Changkaikhon informed AFP, estimating their collective value at $1.9 million (69 million baht). The seizure also included an electrical transformer, laptops, and aluminum cables.

龙仔厝市警察局长 Pichetpong Changkaikhon 告诉法新社：“我们总共发现了 690 个（比特币挖矿）单位。”他估计这些单位的总价值为 190 万美元（6900 万泰铢）。查获的物品还包括一台变压器、笔记本电脑和铝电缆。

A Myanmar national was apprehended on the premises, and police are actively investigating several individuals, including the facility's owner and property leaseholder.

一名缅甸国民在该场所被捕，警方正在积极调查几人，包括该设施的所有者和财产承租人。

According to Chief Pichetpong, this raid ranks among the largest bitcoin mining operations dismantled within the city, eclipsing previous seizures. "We've conducted other raids targeting unlawful bitcoin mining, but none of them have been of this magnitude in a single location," he remarked.

根据皮切蓬局长的说法，这次突袭是该市拆除的最大的比特币采矿作业之一，超过了之前的查获行动。 “我们还针对非法比特币开采进行了其他突袭，但没有一次在单一地点进行过如此规模的突袭，”他表示。

Last week, officers from the Technology Crime Suppression Division executed raids on two separate locations: a section of a Chinese temple in Ratchaburi and a warehouse in Samut Songkhram. A total of 187 and 465 bitcoin mining machines were confiscated, valued at approximately $5 million.

上周，技术犯罪抑制部门的官员对两个不同地点进行了突击搜查：叻丕府一座华人寺庙的一部分和夜功府的一个仓库。总共有 187 台和 465 台比特币矿机被没收，价值约 500 万美元。

Illegal bitcoin mining has proliferated in Thailand, driven by the insatiable energy demands of cryptocurrency mining farms. Consequently, authorities are frequently alerted to potential illicit activities through reports of substantial power surges.

由于加密货币矿场无法满足的能源需求，非法比特币开采在泰国激增。因此，当局经常通过大量电涌的报告警惕潜在的非法活动。

The surge in illegal bitcoin mining has raised concerns over its environmental implications. Bitcoin mining operations require vast amounts of electricity, leading to criticism for their contribution to climate change.

非法比特币开采的激增引发了人们对其环境影响的担忧。比特币挖矿作业需要大量电力，因此因其对气候变化的影响而受到批评。

The Thai government has adopted a strict approach towards unauthorized bitcoin mining, emphasizing the need to combat energy theft and protect the electricity grid.

泰国政府对未经授权的比特币开采采取了严格的措施，强调需要打击能源盗窃和保护电网。

"We will continue to crack down on illegal bitcoin mining and bring those responsible to justice," Chief Pichetpong declared. "We want to safeguard our power resources and prevent the exploitation of our electricity infrastructure."

“我们将继续打击非法比特币开采，并将责任人绳之以法，”酋长皮切蓬宣称。 “我们希望保护我们的电力资源并防止我们的电力基础设施被滥用。”

The recent raids serve as a testament to the government's determination to regulate and control cryptocurrency mining activities in Thailand. Authorities remain committed to enforcing environmental protection laws and ensuring that all electricity consumption complies with legal and regulatory frameworks.

最近的突袭证明了政府监管和控制泰国加密货币挖矿活动的决心。当局仍然致力于执行环境保护法，并确保所有电力消耗符合法律和监管框架。
