Malaysian police raided and shut down an illegal cryptocurrency mining operation at a warehouse in Pulau Indah within the Port Klang Free Zone, according to a July 4 BlockBeats report. Two foreign men, aged 20 and 31, were detained and mining equipment was seized. The report said combined offenses under Malaysia’s Penal Code and Electricity Supply Act could bring 10 years in prison and a RM100,000 fine. Illegal mining operations often draw enforcement attention because they can involve power theft and unauthorized electricity use, which can strain local grids and raise safety risks.
