Marathon Staffer Cleared of Bitcoin Mining Noise Citations - TheMinerMag (https://theminermag.com/news/2024-07-11/bitcoin-mining-marathon-site-manager-noise-violation/)
Hood County may proceed later against the company itself
Marathon’s site manager at its Granbury, Texas facility has been found not liable for the alleged noise violation that recently brought the bitcoin mining giant into the spotlight.
According to a local news report (lhttps://www.star-telegram.com/news/local/article289926739.html) on Wednesday, Marathon’s site manager David Fischer was acquitted of 12 noise violation charges after a two-day trial this week.
According to Hood County News, Hood County Attorney Matt Mills stated that the jurors reached a unanimous verdict that Fischer is not “personally responsible,” although the jurors who gave him feedback reportedly agreed that the low-hum frequency sound from the site is an “unreasonable noise.”
“I’m disappointed for the victims. We may proceed later against the company itself,” Mills was quoted as saying.
That's a helluva update. Sounds like the country will have to sue or regulate according to the court.
Does this say you are not responsible, but fix it?
