Xiao Yi has been said to have engaged in a Bitcoin project that drained 10% of the city of Fuzhou’s power. He pleaded guilty to the charges he was imposed with and he will be serving a life-long sentence in jail as a result.

Xiao Yi Is Sentenced To Life In Prison

The official will be facing a full life sentence after having helped subsidize the charges on an Bitcoin mining project that consumed up to 10% of Fuzhou’s electricity. He is also claimed to have been engaged in many acts that involved corruption by abusing power in his office and other offices.

Xiao Yi And The Bitcoin Mining Project

Xiao Yi provided electrical and financial benefits through subsidies to the Jiumu Group Genesis Technology. Jiumu Group Genesis Technology deals with Bitcoin mining and has more than 150,000 machines for this purpose. Reports have revealed that between 2017 and 2020, this company used up to 10% of Fuzhou’s electricity.

The prosecutors on the case believe that he fabricated evidence regarding the electricity consumption rates to fully cover his acts.
