The head of Qiwi told how the ex-employee secretly mined 500 thousand bitcoins at the terminals in 2011
In 2011, a former Qiwi employee received 500,000 bitcoins through the company's self-service terminals.
According to Solonin, the activity was noticed by the security service - its employees found that in shops where there are no people, at night the terminals work under heavy load and constantly transmit information. After a three-month investigation, it turned out that the technical director of Qiwi had installed applications for mining bitcoins on the terminals and had already managed to get 500 thousand coins.
Solonin demanded the return of the mined bitcoins, since the resources of the company were used for their production, but the technical director filed a letter of resignation and left the company. According to the head of Qiwi, in fact, there was no damage to the company: "there is no direct loss, it did not cause damage - only to landlords who pay for electricity somewhere out there."
Qiwi representatives told vc.ru that the employee who mined bitcoins was a developer, and he was named the technical director for better understanding among the MACS audience. At the same time, he could not use the mined cryptocurrency.
According to our information, these bitcoins were lost.
