    First thing I thought of was a virtual mine... virtually burning down and all those bitcoins popping in the flames

    if they had the brains to setup this operation the coins wouldnt be stored locally so doubtful there was any coin loss. massive hashrate loss to the network though as the article explains.

    Someone could have stolen their coins and then set fire to the factory...

    I suppose they had the coins saved in some backed up wallets at other locations.

    I don't know what happens to "lost" Bitcoins. Do they get lost forever?

    your posts on crypto get more ridiculous by the day.

    maybe the hamburgler stole all the cheeseburgers from mcdonalds and ran off with ronald...id love to know what kind of economist area you work in.

    I doubt the fire was lit on purpose... it is more likely to be the fault of shoddy Thai electricians.
