An American crypto-mining company is trying to quickly liquidate US$30 mil (129.75mil) of equipment in Siberia after the US sanctioned a rival over its Russian operations.

He expects to recover most of the value for the equipment, and will distribute the proceeds to about 2,000 clients that own the gear.
