Bitcoin Heist! ⛏️ Care Homes Targeted.
The culprits, a pair of fellows aged 32 and 33 – one suspects their mothers are deeply embarrassed – were engaged in a clandestine operation to power a bitcoin mining enterprise. The poor institutions in question were rendered with electricity bills inflated to the tune of US$1,153 (HK$9,000). A most significant sum, one might observe, which could presumably have gone towards, oh, I don’t know… actual care? 🤔 The detection of the swindle, naturally, came about not through brilliant police work, but because the internet slowed to a crawl – a tragedy in this modern age – and the utility bills started to resemble something from a particularly profligate sheikh’s accounts.
