"Black Lives Matter protests have pretty much full immunity to do whatever they want, legal or illegal. Presumably, this includes using as much energy as they want without any scrutiny from the government" a spokesman told The Bugle. + +"We want to assure investors that this is not really a protest and no mining operations are being halted or at risk from a crowd becoming unruly and damaging equipment. The crowd is entirely fake and fabricated by the talented CryptoCloaks professionals" RIOT added. + +[](https://zbd.gg/DickGreaser?ref=bugle.news)
