They're stealing used fry oil from restaurants all around here because some of the Bitcoin machines can run submersible in oil as coolant.

So instead of having a fan blowing on your machines to dissipate the heat, you have it in oil.

So it's sneakier.

Wow.

It's not as loud.

So there are restaurants...

in the Midwest that are finding their fry oil disappearing.

And it's because Chinese cartels are stealing their fry oil to run submersible Bitcoin machines.

And it's because you can run them in not residential areas, but they're not as loud.

They don't attract as much attention.

The electricity consumption is certainly through the roof.

but they don't have the fans running 24-7.

And the benefit of the Bitcoin is that it's perfectly saleable across time and space.

You know, I can send a billion dollars from here to Beijing in 10 minutes for $3, and nobody, nowhere can stop me from doing that.

Yeah.

Well, just the lack of law enforcement in Maine.

I think we've reached a point where- No prosecuting attorneys.

Is that what you were saying out there?

Yeah, so we don't have a US attorney in Maine right now.

What do you mean you don't have a US attorney in Maine?
