Cop makes a quick buck by selling stolen goods.
It makes no difference to him whether he is selling a stolen car, TV or bitcoin miner.

I never thought the police in the US to do something like that. Maybe he knows about bitcoin, so he chose to sell bitcoin mining tool for knowing the price was fantastic and did not choose to sell other goods.

they will steal anything as long as they think it has value and can get away with it. even cops are humans it shows. he had a few quick bucks in mind but got caught
