If they wanted to (not saying they do/don’t, just putting out a hypothetical):
  • publicly traded mining companies would have to stop of have people go to jail
  • they’d say “mining is illegal. If you get caught its a fine or jailtime” and then either rely ln neighbors snitching or catching you on tips or when something else happens. The police get s call for a noise complaint, show up, find your asics and weite you a ticket or take you to jail
