Recently, in the process of handling a theft, the prosecutor of Xingren City Procuratorate of Guizhou Province touched the virtual currency "mining" activities hidden behind him.

On November 8, 2021, the Xingren Procuratorate accepted a theft of the arrest. After preliminary review, the prosecutor learned that a technology company programmer Wu had stolen the company's 43 computer graphics cards worth more than 40,000 yuan. After Wu was detained by criminal detention, the company's operators quickly issued an understanding of forgiveness, requesting that Wu Mou's criminal responsibility was no longer held. In addition, Wu and the company's operators flickered their words on the company's business, and the computer host at the scene of the incident was arranged densely. The prosecutor dug a detailed investigation and finally discovered the secret hidden behind the technology company.

It turned out that the company entered an industrial park with another technology company in 2021. In order to hide people's eyes, the two companies scattered more than 3,200 big data service terminals (that is, "mining machines" used for "mining") in different rental plants. They continued to operate for 24 hours and engaged in "mining" activities. After Wu's theft case was issued, the company operator quickly issued an understanding letter because he was worried that he revealed the truth to the public security organs.

According to reports, the "mining" activity of virtual currencies refers to the process of calculating the production of virtual currencies through special "mining machines". Energy consumption and carbon emissions are large, their contribution to the national economy is low, and the role of industrial development and scientific and technological progress has a limited role. In September 2021, 11 departments including the National Development and Reform Commission jointly issued a document to list the "mining" activities of virtual currencies as the elimination industry.

"'Mining' activities often become illegal and criminal activities such as money laundering, illegal transfer of assets, illegal absorption of public deposits, and fundraising fraud." According to the prosecutor of the host. In view of the new situation of the case, the Xingren Procuratorate transferred the clues to the public security organs in a timely manner, and involved in the guidance of the investigation in advance to comprehensively regulate the collection and fixed evidence.

In the end, a prosecution was filed by the Procuratorate of Xingren. Wu, an employee of the company involved, was sentenced to two years and six months in prison for theft and fined fines. The company was ordered by the Municipal Development and Reform Bureau for violating relevant national policies and ordered the relevant activities to withdraw from the market.

It is reported that with the opportunity of this case, the Xingren Procuratorate issued procuratorial suggestions to relevant departments to promote the city's "mining" activities of virtual currencies.
