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.
This is old news. Why entertain it again?
It only aggravates the atmosphere, and does not give a good effect.
I see the market is very bad and very sensitive to negative issues.
and some people take advantage of it.
Exactly. I cannot help to notice the number of troll accounts that are currently out posting old, negative Bitcoin related news and even blatantly fake news. It is all designed to scare weak hands out of their Bitcoin. I wish I knew who are paying them to post the hogwash.
