BBC:

A Chinese headmaster has been fired after a secret stack of crypto-currency mining machines was found connected to his school's electricity supply.

Teachers at the school in Hunan became suspicious of a whirring noise that continued day and night, local media report.

This led to the discovery of the machines, which were mining the crypto-currency Ethereum.

They racked up an electricity bill of 14,700 yuan (£1,600).

      It's safe, but a lame attempt at humor.

        GP AC here. Not an attempt at humor, rather a suggestion as to how to obtain readily available information.
