D Wennawachee Raspberry PI



Phone: Chara?
Yes
This is Jimmy Doodleberg, we met at the network conference in New York. Er, I helped you put in a mesh network node. . .
Yes, Jimmy, how are you?
Fine. Chara, I think I found something you might be interested in.
OK Jimmy, shoot.
The feds just busted a huge illegal gaming compute complex in Wennawachee. Massive. May be the largest array of Raspberry PIs in the world, the big ones with the GPUs. It was the compute engine for their betting blockchain. Skeleton crew, they tried shooting it out with the authorities. I don't have to tell you, as many police as been shot lately, that didn't end well for them, no survivors. When they tried to serve paper on the owner, he reached for a gun. Work on the street is they are all dead. It normally would take years to sort out the ownership and then auction the seized assets, it could be weeks.

One more thing. The lease in the industrial park is with the city, they took that whole area over years ago. The mayor is my brother, he is close to the governor and I don't need to tell you, but due to certain corporations Washington is a powerhouse in congress. This could be a way out of living in a shotgun shack.

 Jimmy, can I reach you on this number in 10 minutes?
Sure thing Chara.

Wennawachee, of course, cheap power, probably didn't even bother with solar. Rasberry PI, all linux muscle, no fat. Wonky poo has the muscle, connections and funding. Just need to make sure he takes care of Chara, maybe Jimmy can be the site manager.

6 minutes went by.
Phone: Jimmy?
Yes Chara.
I've got tickets on No Problem Air Service for 1030 tomorrow to Wennawachee, can you meet me at Paine commuter terminal 10 or so? Pack for a couple days, anything you forget, don't worry, I'm going to take care of you.
Sure thing Chara, can't wait.
