Which is right, if there's regulations about that it will be implemented even she's already and old lady, she will still be punished as the law from such country is really strict implementing there ruling about this case,she will serve her sentence as the decisions of the law.

I never encounter any such things like that were the old lady having a mining rig and earning bitcoin at her old age which is 61 yrs. old,
Aside from that I think all countries have like that a problem for illegal taping of electricity, here in my country in some other places here in civilized place there are lot of illegal taping here who doing it actually.

For a country with low electricity prices, why are there still people stealing it? In my country, the electricity price is quite high, so there are very few builders trying to exploit Bitcoin mining because you can lose money because of high electricity prices.

In fact, the justice sense the Chinese have(When not related to politics) is one reason why i feel a bit of admiration for them. They want to make examples out of the people who commit crimes and that is pretty effective in making others not follow the same path.

For example, in Venezuela if they something starts hunting the ones that steal electricity(Even when it is almost free and for that reason it works so bad), a lot of people would be arrested.

It's great to support the cause but please in legal ways.

Seriously!?  is this news legit?!
I can not believe it.  61 years Grandma know about bitcoin mining, in our country Bitcoin is not so familiar currency on young generation..
But this is bad luck for 61 years talented grandma.....

Stealing from the government has been always severely punished under communist regimes. Read about the "Law of Spikelets" from the link below

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_Spikelets

People were getting from 5 to 10 years of Gulag prison for just taking "as little as a handful of grain or spikelets left behind in the fields after the entire harvest was officially collected and counted". Just think of it: those spikelets would rot on the field if weren't picked up by the "thieves", and yet such a harsh punishment was given to them!

I think she's lucky getting just 4 months. Also, I agree with posters above saying that she acted as a cover for someone else, like her son or her grandson. And taking the obvious lie into account,
I am personally impressed with the softness of the sentence.
