Imagine a big fight over computer parts used to make Bitcoin! A company called Consensus uses lots of machines to create Bitcoin. They rent space from Mawson to keep these machines. Now they're arguing about money and who gets to use the machines. It's like if your friend borrowed your video game system and then refused to give it back!
- Consensus, the Bitcoin mining company, says Mawson, their hosting company, is using their machines to make Bitcoin without permission.
- Mawson says they have the right to use the machines because of unpaid bills.
- A judge said Mawson has to stop using Consensus's machines for now.

|---|---|
| Number of machines | 21,000 |
| Value of machines | $30 million |
| Mawson's daily profit (alleged) | $100,000 - $200,000 |
