Would be way more profitable if they figured out some way to re-sell what electricity they stole...

  Yeah man, they should have just pushed those electrons back into the interconnect after they ran them through their miners.

  Who buys stolen electricity? Bitcoin miners and weed growers ... at best! Selling this to homes would be even more illegal because of the negligence. Someone could get killed fucking around with that much power.

    "$20 to fully charge your EV", "$5 to charge your phone" ? Installing fake solar panels & a net meter & selling the stolen energy back to the utility company? Just live off of stolen electricity to cut your monthly expenses by $100 a month, while also having to steal significantly less so that it could've gone unnoticed? IDK, but the whole thing makes me think of stealing a painting only to sell the frame to a recycling center. Yes, you're still ahead, but maybe there was a better way to profit from the crime?
