According to ChainCatcher, citing Bits.media, a large illegal cryptocurrency mining farm has been seized in Nizhny Tagil and the nearby Kushva region in Russia's Sverdlovsk Oblast. The mining farm was hidden within an abandoned industrial park and housed about 10 thousand mining machines. It was shut down during a joint operation by the Federal Security Service of Russia, local police, and a power company. The local electricity company estimates that the mining farm's long-term illegal use of electricity caused losses of nearly 1 billion rubles (about $12.7 million). Investigators stated that its power consumption was enough to supply electricity to a small city. Law enforcement authorities have arrested three suspects, who are currently under house arrest, and have initiated a case on charges of "causing property damage through deception or abuse of trust." According to Russian law, those involved may face up to five years in prison. Investigations revealed that the operators of the mining farm accessed the power grid through intermediaries and are suspected of tampering with meter data to conceal their actual electricity use. Law enforcement agencies reported that the farm’s real electricity consumption was about twice the approved amount. The local energy department initially launched an investigation due to frequent voltage fluctuations, power outages, and equipment failures in the abandoned factory area, eventually locating the farm. The local TV station also filmed a documentary called "Mining" to document the operation.

According to monitoring by the Odaily Seer channel, in the Polymarket prediction event "MLB Regular Season: Colorado Rockies vs. Los Angeles Angels," smart money (address: 0xfe787d2da716d60e8acff57fb87eb13cd4d10319) purchased a total of $70,000 on the Colorado Rockies defeating the Los Angeles Angels, with an average entry price of 37.3￠. Both teams are currently near the bottom of the league. The Colorado Rockies have a record of 22 wins and 38 losses, having suffered several losing streaks in May; the Los Angeles Angels have a record of 23 wins and 37 losses, and are also experiencing a slump overall. The Rockies have been heavily affected by injuries, with players such as Jordan Beck on the injury list, and first baseman T.J. Rumfield also facing potential injury concerns. Starting pitcher Kyle Freeland will take on an important role in the rotation. The Angels mainly rely on Mike Trout and Jo Adell to provide offensive firepower, and the performance of starting pitcher Jose Soriano will also be crucial. Overall, this is an interleague series between two underperforming teams, both hoping to reverse their recent poor form with these early June games. The Odaily Seer channel will continue to monitor the prediction market, seeing changes before they are priced in.
