Power-Hungry Illegal Crypto Farm Discovered in a Kuwaiti House
KUWAIT CITY, July 28: A Kuwaiti citizen has been arrested for operating an illegal cryptocurrency mining setup from a house in Sabah Al-Ahmad Residential City, raising concerns about electricity theft and network stability. Acting on the directives of First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Sheikh Fahd Yousef Saud Al-Sabah, the General Department of Criminal Investigation, through its Anti-Financial Crimes Department, launched an operation to clamp down on unlicensed activities draining public resources. The suspect, identified as Khaled Samir Fahd Shehab, had reportedly restarted his crypto mining operation just 15 days ago, following a temporary shutdown during a recent security sweep. Investigators discovered that the house in question was rented under the name of an individual whose Kuwaiti citizenship had been revoked. A search warrant was obtained from the Public Prosecution, leading to the arrest of the accused and the seizure of mining equipment. Authorities noted that such illegal mining operations not only violate local laws but also consume excessive electricity, putting immense pressure on Kuwait's public power grid. The Ministry of Electricity, Water, and Renewable Energy has been informed and is pursuing further legal and technical action regarding the unauthorized use of power. The accused has been referred to the relevant authorities for prosecution.
