The Police once raided a warehouse and found 3,800 PlayStations running FIFA
Ukraine's security service raided a warehouse in Vinnytsia expecting to find a crypto mining farm
Instead they found PS4 consoles stacked on racks from floor to ceiling
Every single one was running FIFA 21 on autopilot, farming Ultimate Team coins 24 hours a day to sell on the black market
The operation was stealing $259,000 a month in electricity and causing power blackouts across the entire city
The consoles alone were worth $1.5 million
EA makes $1.6 billion a year from Ultimate Team
The FIFA coin black market is worth over $200 million a year
At black market rates, 3,800 consoles farming coins 24/7 could pull in $3 to $5 million a year
