About 600 computer servers used to mine bitcoin were stolen in Iceland in a series of large-scale robberies in December and January, according to police.
The servers were taken from data centres in Reykjanesbær, near Reykjavik airport, and Borgarnes on Icelands west coast.
About 10 people have been brought in for questioning, and two Icelanders in their 20s and 30s are being held on suspicion of involvement in the thefts, a police spokesman for south-west Iceland told AFP on Wednesday.
He suggested the thefts could be linked to organised crime, saying: Everything points in that direction.
I'm sorry to inform you that this has been reported already weeks or even months ago so I don't know what your intentions are of bringing this news in the front page again.
I'm sure that those who have been caught has undergone court litigation for stealing those computers. Its a petty crime and I don't think this is relevant to this day. Do you think that they stole those computers to mine bitcoin? or just make money by selling those computers?
