Bitcoin mining machines stolen from Iceland may be in China

Icelandic local media RUV said last week that 600 bitcoins were missing in Iceland. The mining machines may be in China. Previously, the theft of 600 bitcoin mining machines in Iceland did not attract much attention from netizens. Although the bitcoin thief has been arrested, the whereabouts of the stolen mining machines are still unknown.

According to Coindesk, the stolen 600 Bitcoin mining machines may be in China. Icelandic police have sent inquiries to Chinese authorities to ask whether 600 Bitcoin mining machines have been confiscated. On the 25th of last month, Tianjin police seized 600 computers used to mine Bitcoin after receiving reports of abnormal electricity usage from local power grid operators, cracking a case of electricity theft, but it is not clear whether the mining machines seized in China have any connection with the theft in Iceland.

According to reports, the mining machines were stolen in December last year and January this year, and the Icelandic police have not yet found the whereabouts of the mining machines. The owner of the mining machine said that a reward of $60,000 would be given to anyone who could provide information on the whereabouts of the mining machine. The Bitcoin thief behind the Bitcoin mining machine theft was arrested and imprisoned, then fled to Sweden, and was later extradited to Iceland by the police from the Netherlands.
