The farm in the empty Vinnitsaoblenergo warehouse, which was closed a week ago, was intended for pumping up gaming bots.
During the ongoing investigation into the illegal connection to Vinnitsaoblenergo networks, the SBU conducted an examination of part of the seized equipment. Investigators came to the conclusion that the seized devices were used to extract game resources for the FIFA football simulator or upgrade characters for further resale.
The examination of the equipment has not yet been completed, and the SBU refuses to disclose details of the investigation into the theft of electricity on a particularly large scale. Security forces previously estimated the damage to the utility company from the operation of the “mining farm” at $186,000 - $259,000.
However, Vinnitsaoblenergo stated that they had not recorded the theft of electricity and had nothing to do with the equipment found.
