For $35,000 in electricity cost to run the hardware, they were able to mine a bitcoin worth as of today over $110,000.

Quote from @Tom Dieringer: Just wondering who goes the extra step and protects against bookings with stolen IDs by also requiring an upload of a selfie?

Could even happen due to fraud or stolen credit or personal data and the Bank/lender still will reduce or close Heloc because it’s done internally with software and systems in place to reduce risk.

The few that do stick around, most get it=n, see how much work it is, and move on to Bitcoin, selling cruises or become travel agents.

that all works until your condenser is stolen right ? 

Not only are they horrible at communication, a stove was stolen from the property when the tenants who weren't paying rent moved out. 

My advice about the folks that know nothing is for the 97-99% of folks on here; pay down consumer debt, buy your primary house full cash, invest in "passive" stuff like 60% etfs, 10% gold, 30% bitcoin and relax.

I don't understand bitcoin so haven't bought any. 

The peak of this movie is billions for programmers and $120K+ Bitcoin. 

I think that the guy they collared for Bitcoin fraud may be another example because the Bitcoin he bought illegally actually appreciated.
