ICE raids Texas Bitcoin mining site tied to Bitmain in chip export control probe

Federal agents on Monday raided the Lonestar Dream bitcoin mining site in Pyote, Texas, going straight for an ASIC repair center run by Bitmain-affiliated ADW Tech, according to a report from Blockspace. The Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operation unfolded at sunrise and zeroed in on the contractor that keeps Antminer rigs running at the 30 MW site, recently sold by Poolin.
