Mexican authorities have uncovered a sophisticated cryptocurrency mining operation in Puebla state, suspected of being used by drug cartels to launder illicit funds.

• The operation, found in a remote mountain area, utilized 300 graphics processing units (GPUs) and eight satellite antennae.
• The crypto farm is believed to be linked to Mexico's powerful cartels, requiring significant technical expertise and funding.
• Authorities are investigating whether the farm was illegally drawing power from a nearby hydroelectric system, a common tactic given the high energy costs of crypto mining.
