lol, I work in a colocation facility. We have hundreds of these mining setups. It used to be thousands, but a lot of people have begun to realize the cost in electricity to the rate of return on actually mined coin is no longer profitable and hasn't been for almost 6 years, at least.
I would not be shocked if despite running this for potentially months to years before being caught, I would bet dollars to donuts it never generated anywhere near the $18,000 he is being charged for.

I just wish you could get these older ones cheaper.
With the price of diesel where it's at I do actually run space heaters as it's a bit of a wash on electricity vs running the boiler.
