Taiwan Clinic Owners Accused of NT$80 Million Electricity Theft in Crypto Mining Venture
A couple operating aesthetic medicine clinics in Taichung City, Taiwan, faces legal repercussions due to their involvement in cryptocurrency mining ventures. Zheng and Su sought to bolster their income by investing in virtual currency mining since 2021. Collaborating with Huang, who established eight mining sites in Taichung, the couple engaged in mining operations. However, suspicions arose as Huang is accused of stealing electricity, resulting in losses of approximately NT$80 million for Taiwan Power Company. The situation escalated when two mining sites experienced electrical fires, posing risks to adjacent tutorial centres and a hot pot restaurant.
