Paraguay convicts two bitcoin miners for energy theft, setting legal precedent against illegal power use.

Paraguay's National Power Administration (ANDE) won a legal case against two bitcoin miners convicted of stealing electricity by bypassing meters and directly connecting to the power grid. The miners were sentenced to two years in jail, though the sentence was suspended. This ruling is significant as it also holds property owners accountable if they facilitate or benefit from illegal energy use. ANDE plans to strengthen controls to combat illegal mining and energy theft, which have caused millions in losses. This case follows previous convictions in Paraguay, reinforcing the country's zero-tolerance policy on energy theft related to bitcoin mining.
