Will Bitmain’s Bitcoin Rig Unmask the US? đŸ€”

by

Behold, diplomatic follies! Bitmain Technologies Ltd., yclept the Chinese scions of Bitcoin mining, are at present subjected to the charming attentions of the US federal inquisition. This, apparently, is over what might be tendered as national security concerns regarding their bountiful mining tools.

Chinese Bitcoin Mogul Wrestles under Gaze of Uncle Sam

Pray, read along as Bloomberg, our guide in these Lynchian intrigues, divulges on a grim Friday, that Bitmain, purveyor of Bitcoin miners to the world, is being examined by the loquacious US Department of Homeland Security. This enigmatic operation, “Red Sunset,” yawns over lingering queries as to whether Bitmain’s contrivances might orchestrate American infrastructural Armageddon with but a whim.

The firm claims no inkling of an ongoing “Red Sunset” investigation-or any import disputes, for that matter. Bitmain deflates concerns, noting investigations as mundane as finds by the Federal Communications Commission. Meanwhile, Herman Alvariste of DHS opts for the grand tradition of silence.
