Indiana Cops Nab Stolen Bitcoin Mining Operation—Plus $75K in Frozen Poultry
Indiana law enforcement just pulled off the most bizarre crypto-heist recovery of the year—securing both sophisticated mining equipment and enough frozen turkeys to feed a small town.
The Great Crypto Turkey Caper
Police uncovered the dual-purpose operation during a routine investigation, stumbling upon what appears to be someone's attempt to hedge their bets between digital and poultry assets. The mining rigs were actively processing blockchain transactions while $75,000 worth of frozen birds sat nearby—because nothing says diversified portfolio like Bitcoin and Thanksgiving dinner.
Authorities confirmed all equipment and poultry have been seized as evidence. The recovered mining hardware represents significant computational power now offline from the Bitcoin network.
Because when traditional finance gets too volatile, some investors apparently diversify into the stable returns of frozen poultry—the original cold storage.
