泰國關閉春武里府非法比特幣礦場，沒收 996 台機器

泰國的任務是解決導致首都曼谷和鄰近地區大規模電力中斷的非法採礦作業問題。

Thailand is continuing its efforts to crack down on illegal Bitcoin mining operations that are causing massive power disruptions in the capital city of Bangkok and neighboring areas.

泰國正繼續努力打擊非法比特幣挖礦活動，這些活動導致首都曼谷和周邊地區出現大規模電力中斷。

In its latest drive against these unregistered operations, the kingdom’s Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) announced that it has shut down an illegal Bitcoin mining farm in the Phanat Nikhom District of Chonburi.

在針對這些未註冊業務的最新行動中，該國省電力局（PEA）宣布關閉春武里府 Phanat Nikhom 區的一個非法比特幣礦場。

This time, the energy company worked with the Crime Suppression Division (CSD) to raid the mining facility, which was suspected of tampering with the electricity meter for crypto-mining purposes.

此次，該能源公司與打擊犯罪部門（CSD）合作突襲了該採礦設施，該設施涉嫌篡改電錶進行加密貨幣採礦。

According to local reports, the PEA and CSD officers confiscated 996 Bitcoin mining machines and similar equipment. A representative of the raiding team said that crypto mining operations work with stolen power worth hundreds of millions of baht.

根據當地通報，PEA 和 CSD 官員沒收了 996 台比特幣礦機和類似設備。突襲小組的一名代表表示，加密貨幣挖礦業務使用了價值數億泰銖的被盜電力。

The persons responsible for the questionable crypto-mining operations are unknown, but the CSD is preparing the necessary arrest warrants from the local court.

負責可疑加密貨幣挖礦業務的人員尚不清楚，但 CSD 正在準備向當地法院發出必要的逮捕令。

Illegal Crypto Mining Remains A Problem For Thai Authorities

非法加密貨幣挖礦仍然是泰國當局面臨的問題

Crypto mining is a complex technical process that requires high-end computers and related equipment. Since it requires massive power and investment in advanced equipment, it isn’t surprising that many groups run illegal crypto-mining operations.

加密貨幣挖礦是一個複雜的技術過程，需要高階電腦和相關設備。由於它需要大量電力和先進設備的投資，因此許多團體進行非法加密貨幣挖礦業務也就不足為奇了。

In Thailand, several crypto-mining operations have been set up, and many of these have been illegally tampering with the country’s electrical supply.

在泰國，已經建立了多個加密貨幣挖礦業務，其中許多業務非法篡改了該國的電力供應。

Last November 2024, Thai authorities raided and closed at least nine illegal crypto-mining operations and charged two persons with stealing over $280k in electricity.

去年 2024 年 11 月，泰國當局突襲並關閉了至少 9 個非法加密貨幣挖礦作業，並指控兩人竊取超過 28 萬美元的電力。

In 2022, Bangkok’s Department of Special Investigation also carried out raids targeting over 50 illegal crypto-mining operations.

2022 年，曼谷特別調查部也針對 50 多個非法加密貨幣挖礦活動進行了突襲搜查。

Chonburi Mining Operator Illegally Tapped Into Local Electricity Supply

春武里府採礦業者非法利用當地電力供應

According to local reports, an unidentified employee of the mining firm tipped the authorities about the possible electricity theft in the facility. Authorities said the facility used the electricity meter correctly during the day to avoid suspicions and switched to illegal tapping by night.

據當地報道，該礦業公司的一名身份不明的員工向當局舉報該設施可能發生竊電事件。當局表示，該設施白天正確使用電錶以避免懷疑，並在夜間轉為非法竊電。

Police Maj. Gen. Montree Theskhan of the Crime Suppression Division said the company was registered for digital asset trading. However, it also operated crypto mining rigs that illegally used the state’s power supply at night.

警方打擊犯罪部門的 Montree Theskhan 少將表示，該公司已註冊進行數位資產交易。然而，它也運作著在夜間非法使用國家電力供應的加密採礦設備。

The investigations also revealed that solar panels were added to the compound but were not used to power the mining rigs.

調查也顯示，該院落中添加了太陽能板，但並未用於為採礦設備供電。

Illegal Crypto Mining Operations Also Reported In Other Countries

其他國家也有非法加密貨幣挖礦活動的通報

Unregistered Bitcoin mining facilities are also operating in various parts of the world. For example, in its October 2024 report, the Malaysian primary power provider reported over $100 million in losses due to theft.

未註冊的比特幣挖礦設施也在世界各地運作。例如，馬來西亞主要電力供應商在 2024 年 10 月的報告中報告稱，由於竊盜造成了超過 1 億美元的損失。

These illegal crypto-mining activities have pushed national governments to tighten regulations and launch campaigns against violators. Some governments have banned mining and technology outright to control its negative effects.

這些非法的加密貨幣挖礦活動促使各國政府加強監管，並對違法者發動打擊行動。一些政府徹底禁止採礦和技術以控制其負面影響。
