Huangpu Customs of China’s Guangdong Province has said it seized 49 used bitcoin (BTC) miners from an unnamed party that was attempting to smuggle the devices into the country.
If you can remember - crypto mining was made illegal in China.
According to a news article from news.bitcoin.com, the alleged smugglers had used false information in their export documents. However, upon inspection, authorities discovered the consignment was not comprised of shoe materials, as stated in the “export document,” the report said. Instead, the consignment consisted of what some reports say are old ASIC miners.
