Malaysian police have a dramatic way of ending cryptocurrency mining investigations: they publicly destroy the seized equipment with a steamroller. This spectacle has happened multiple times, crushing thousands of mining machines. Recently, Deputy Home Minister Shamsul Anuar shared the total results with parliament. From 2022 through May 2026, authorities seized 75,578 mining rigs during 3,049 raids and arrested 629 people, working alongside the national utility company, Tenaga Nasional Berhad. The minister revealed these figures while explaining why few cases have led to convictions, and the numbers themselves shed light on a larger issue.
