Paraguay's National Electricity Administration (ANDE) announced that a Paraguayan court has convicted two citizens for illegally mining Bitcoin by stealing electricity. Both were sentenced to two years in prison. According to ANDE, the mining operation was directly connected to the medium-voltage power grid, completely bypassing electricity costs for mining and causing ongoing economic losses to the country. The court also clarified that property owners of illegal mining sites will be held accountable if they cannot prove they were unaware of the activities. Landlords can no longer use 'I didn’t know' as a valid defense. (CriptoNoticias) https://(wublock123.com)/news/paraguay-convicts-illegal-bitcoin-miners-landlord-held-responsible-63262
