So It's a pretty long story, actually. Venezuela has nothing to envy to a epic Netflix movie.
The Tocorón Prison is the biggest & more dangerous prison from Venezuela.
From there, a criminal organization named "Tren de Aragua" operates most of the crime in the central region in the country, but with the recent migration crisis they've managed to spread their tentacles all over South America, including countries like Colombia, Ecuador, Perú and Chile.
"Tren de Aragua" means the train of Aragua, a province of Venezuela. It refers to an old unfinished & abandoned train construction workers sindicate that evolved into this criminal and prolific organization.
The Tocoron prison was like a criminal citadel. Let me explain: they had a neighborhood for family and friends, a club where international artists presented their shows, a pool with park and recreation for kids, a farm with exotic animals and guess what... a Bitcoin mining facility INSIDE THE PRISON.
The Tocoron prison is located nearby the San Vicente industrial area, where many companies closed shop thanks to fucking communism & Bitcoin miners took their place to do their thing, taking advantage of industrial facilities and cheap energy. Some of these mining entrepeneurs have been working there since around year 2014. Many of them are legit, I can say. Some others are corrupt politicians, army officials and whatnot.
So it's not a surprise that yesterday, when the government decided to raid the prison, they fund several Bitcoin mining equipment in there.
As I said, this is a heavy material for a script writer to make a Netflix movie or series.
Anyway, check the media coverage of this chapter in my crazy crazy country.
