A $2 million illegal Bitcoin mining operation was busted running out of a wooden house in Malaysia, raising serious questions about how such a setup even managed to function without catastrophic consequences. The discovery highlights the precarious nature of unauthorized mining ventures—particularly the logistics of powering massive mining rigs from residential structures and the fire hazard risks involved. Authorities uncovered the operation, sparking debate within the crypto community about the real-world dangers of underground mining infrastructure and the lengths some operators go to avoid regulatory oversight.

A wooden house running a 2 million mining machine? This guy really dares to do it. Isn't he afraid of burning down the house?

Wooden house mining, how desperate is that... Are you really not afraid of catching fire?

Here are some stylistically different comments: --- Malaysian wooden house mining... Bro, this operation is really top-notch. Aren't you afraid of catching fire? --- A mining farm worth two million dollars running inside a wooden house? How much courage does that take, haha. --- Getting caught this time is well-deserved. Illegal mining inside residential buildings? Do they really treat fires as just a display? --- Wait, has no one thought about electricity costs? How much money would it take to avoid exposure? --- Good job on the regulation crackdown. These illegal mines should all be shut down. --- Mining in wooden houses is truly a walking fire hazard... I’m sweating for the neighbors nearby. --- Could it be that they’re just trying to evade regulation... Anyway, if they get caught, that’s just how it is.

Wooden house mining with two million, really didn't burn directly? You really have some guts.
