It's indeed nothing new if we look at similar activities around the world, but it doesn't change anything from the fact that it is abuse and potentially theft of resources that don't belong to you. It wasn't all that long ago where a state department employee used financial resources of the state to buy GPU's with for mining purposes. This isn't only abuse of resources, but also theft, which is something we can't and shouldn't take lightly. I have read about various similar happenings in hospitals, universities, banks, etc. I know people want to exploit every possible opportunity that this market grants them, but there are lines that people shouldn't cross, especially in case of a hospital or bank or nuclear facility....
