bitcoin, as a digital currency in the form of P2P, attracts large numbers of people to buy “mining machines” because of its extreme scarcity, consumes large amounts of electricity and digs them online, even to commit crimes. On the morning of 24 December, the Dandu court held a public hearing in accordance with the law on the theft of bitcoin by the Great Gangangte miner, which had raised high social concerns, and pronounced it in court.
经法院审理查明，为降低运行比特币“挖矿机”高额的电力成本，2017年3月至2019年5月间，被告人兰某锋、李某、毛某海共谋在镇江市丹徒区等地租用场地，通过互感器短接等方式，盗窃国家电力挖取比特币，被告人王某斌、叶某华、蓝某连、毛某平明知上述情况仍出资加入并帮助维护管理。被告人朱某忠、徐某民、刘某群明知被告人兰某锋等人盗窃国家电力仍予以提供帮助，并从中获利。其中，主犯兰某锋涉案金额高达13781383元。

另查明，被告人退出赃款98万元（其中李某退出20万元、徐某民退出60万元、朱某忠退出18万元）已发还国网江苏省电力有限公司镇江供电分公司。
it was also established that the accused withdrew the sum of $980,000 (of which Li withdrew from the fund, Xu Xiao people withdrew from the fund, Xu Xiao people withdrew from the fund) and Chu was returned to the Rivers and Rivers Division of the State Network Jiangsu Electricity Company.
庭审中，兰某锋等人自愿将公安机关在侦查阶段扣押的近4000台“挖矿机”以及账户中持有的14枚比特币作为违法所得退赔给供电公司，并对公诉机关指控的犯罪事实无异议，当庭认罪认罚。
/span> 根据各被告人犯罪的事实、犯罪的性质、情节和对于社会的危害程度，合议庭经评议后，分别依法判处10名被告人有期徒刑3年至13年不等刑罚，并处罚金。

【法官说法】本案是江苏省有史以来涉案金额最大的一起盗电案件。依照盗窃罪在江苏省的标准，5万是巨大，40万是特别巨大，案中主犯兰某锋涉案金额高达1300多万，属于数额特别巨大，按照刑法相关规定，应判处10年以上有期徒刑或者无期徒刑，并处罚金或者没收财产。考虑到被告人有认罪认罚情节，愿意退赔退赃，合议庭最终决定判处第一被告13年有期徒刑，并处罚金人民币30万元。
