I'm from Venezuela, and i can tell you that they are stealing the mining equipment to mine themselves because they are so inept they can't even manage to extract oil anymore, our whole oil industry is breaking down because every person that knew how to operate the machinery left the country and now we have these donkeys running the oil company that only manage to set our refineries and extraction points on fire every 2 weeks :^)
We can't mine coins using subsided electricity but they can, isn't socialism beautiful?
