A "Bitcoin" factory was suspected to be built in the underground garage of a community in Bengbu. Relevant departments intervened in the investigation

Da Wan News: Recently, many residents of Hengda Yujingwan Community in Bengbu reported that there was constant noise in the underground garage of Building 16 in the community, which seriously affected the lives of the residents. At 3 pm on August 28, Da Wan News reporters accompanied relevant departments to the scene to understand the situation. After preliminary investigation, it was confirmed that this was an act of privately renovating the underground garage and illegally closing it. According to relevant physical evidence at the scene, it was suspected to be a "Bitcoin" processing and production site. At the same time, there is a similar house in the commercial house of the community. At present, relevant departments are demolishing illegal structures and will investigate the behavior of tenants.

Doubt: There is constant noise in the underground garage

"When I passed by the underground garage, I could hear a rumbling sound similar to that of an air conditioner working outside. I thought it was very strange, but I didn't know where it came from." Recently, Ms. Li, a resident of Hengda Yujingwan Community in Bengbu, has been troubled by the noise from the underground garage. It is understood that many residents in the community have been affected by the noise to varying degrees and have reported it in different ways.

Zhang Yong (pseudonym), an enthusiastic resident, said that on the afternoon of August 27, after learning about the constant noise in the underground garage in the community, he and another owner went to the second underground floor of Building 16 to check. Finally, on the east side of the elevator room, they found a room enclosed by multiple underground parking spaces. "That place is in a relatively hidden location in the underground garage, and most people would not go there. At that time, I could indeed hear a rumbling sound, and the wall was very hot when I touched it. I thought there must be a problem." By opening the exhaust fan shutter, Zhang Yong and his friends found that on the neatly arranged shelves inside, many machines were running. Judging from the situation they learned, at least more than 200 "Bitcoin" mining machines were working. "This is the Bitcoin mining machinery in operation, and the scale is not small." Zhang Yong said.

On-site: The equipment in the house has been emptied

At 3 p.m. on August 28, a reporter from Da Wan News entered the Evergrande Yujingwan community. On the second basement floor of Building 16, he could see through the exhaust louvers that there were a large number of storage shelves inside, but the shelves were completely empty.

"In addition to this place, there is another commercial house with the same arrangement," another enthusiastic owner took the reporter to the storefront of Shop 216 in Building 11, where you can see that the door is closed, and through several ground exhaust vents, you can see that the house has similar storage shelves as those in the underground garage of Building 16. The enthusiastic owner said that these exhaust vents were originally blocked, and they were opened later because they felt suspicious. Now you can see that there are only empty containers inside.

At the same time, the relevant person in charge of the Bengshan District Government of Bengbu City who rushed to the scene said that it can be preliminarily determined that the blocking of underground parking spaces and such activities must have been carried out without approval, and the property management office, urban management department and police in the jurisdiction must fulfill their responsibilities and the closed site must be cleaned up and rectified on the evening of the 28th. At the same time, an investigation was launched into the items previously placed on the two shelves and they were handled strictly in accordance with law enforcement procedures.

Question: The property management claimed that they were unaware of the situation

Da Wan reporter learned that the Hengda Yujingwan community in Bengbu was built in 2015, and its property company is the Bengbu branch of Jinbi Property Co., Ltd. As to why this situation occurred in the community, the reporter later found a person in charge of the Bengbu branch of Jinbi Property Co., Ltd. at the scene. When faced with the reporter's questioning, he refused to answer and said he knew nothing. In the subsequent questioning, the person in charge simply chose to leave.

At 5 pm, a reporter from Da Wan News once again came to the basement of Building 16. The room that was originally converted from a closed parking space had been demolished, leaving only empty shelves in the room.

During the interview, many owners expressed serious doubts about the property management's approach. Why didn't the property management find out about such a large-scale project being built in a closed space like the underground garage? The electricity and communication networks of the facilities in the house were also successfully connected through the community property management. Why didn't the property management know about it? At the same time, Zhang Yong said that he reported the situation at around 5 pm on August 27. Why did so many machines disappear when he went to check again at around 8 pm? For this reason, the owners of the community told Da Wan reporters that they hope the relevant departments can conduct a strict investigation, thoroughly solve the problem, and give an explanation to the residents of the community.
