On a dead-end road that climbs out of the tiny city of Jenkins, in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in Eastern Kentucky, there stands a large warehouse with a mint green roof. It shares the road with a few other businesses, but is otherwise surrounded by an expanse of open fields and tree-lined slopes. Inside, the warehouse is stacked high with racks on racks of computers—thousands of them. But none have ever been switched on.

The warehouse is owned by Mohawk Energy, a company cofounded by Kentucky state senator Brandon Smith in 2005, originally to resculpt landscapes disfigured by coal mining. After lying dormant for a period, Mohawk was reincarnated in 2022 when Smith struck a deal with HBTPower, a company then owned by Chinese crypto exchange Huobi, which wanted to use the warehouse for a bitcoin mining operation.

Under the deal, Mohawk promised to fit up its warehouse with the necessary power infrastructure, operate the equipment, and funnel any bitcoin produced to HBT. In return, HBT would pay Mohawk a monthly hosting fee, a cut of its mining revenue, and the associated energy bills.

Smith says he hoped the arrangement would generate tax revenue and create jobs for former coal miners, who could be trained as repair technicians. The coal industry departed Jenkins long ago, the reserves depleted, leaving people in search of work. More than a third now live below the poverty line, per the latest census data. “I liked the idea of going from one type of mining to a new type,” says Smith. “I thought, now in Eastern Kentucky we are going to have our time—we’re going to catch up and play a part in the tech future.”

But after a promising start, the relationship between Mohawk and HBT soured and then fell apart. “Nothing has ever been turned on. It’s a fascinating, almost Willy Wonka–type atmosphere when you walk through,” says Smith. “It has turned into a disaster.”

In November 2023, HBT brought a lawsuit in federal court, alleging that Mohawk had breached its contract on several fronts, including by failing to install the appropriate power infrastructure and secure certain power subsidies, and attempting to sell off the mining equipment. “Ultimately, the source of the current dispute is Mohawk’s basic failure to comply with its obligations, not only in a timely way, but at all in many regards,” says Harout Samra, a specialist in international dispute resolution at law firm DLA Piper and representative for HBT.

Mohawk sued HBT in return, contesting the various alleged breaches and claiming that HBT is delinquent on more than $700,000 in rent, labor, and fit-up costs. The company is also seeking damages relating to the loss of income over the term of the contract and the inability to bring a new tenant into the facility while the equipment remains on-site. “Huobi simply made a bargain it believes now is a bad one, and wants to get out of it without paying the funds it owes,” the filing states.

The legal conflict, which remains unresolved, is just one in a series of fights between Chinese companies and the owners of industrial facilities in the rural US over failed bitcoin mining partnerships. What looked to facility owners in Kentucky like an irresistible opportunity to tap into a new line of business in an otherwise fallow period has turned into a nightmare. They claim to have been saddled with unpaid hosting fees and energy bills worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, with few options for recovering the money. The Chinese parties have been left equally displeased. “HBTPower obviously regrets that this opportunity has ultimately played out the way it has,” says Samra.

The bitcoin mining game—a race between computers to win the right to process a bundle of transactions and claim a crypto reward—is dominated by large corporations that own and operate industrial-scale facilities. But in 2021 and 2022, smaller-scale operations began to proliferate in the US countryside wherever there was available power, including in Kentucky. “A lot of mom-and-pop shops opened up,” says Phil Harvey, CEO at Sabre56, a firm that consults on crypto mining projects and operates its own facilities. “Appalachia has always been a good source of power.”

These small facilities were plugging a gap in the market. A ban on crypto mining in China had left businesses casting about for a new home for their many millions of dollars’ worth of mining equipment. “A lot of wealthy Chinese businesses were affected,” says Harvey. “Every minute these machines are down, they are losing revenue.” Meanwhile, as the price of bitcoin ballooned—and the profitability of mining along with it—mining firms and investor groups began to hoard large quantities of bitcoin mining equipment of their own, says Harvey, without considering where they might deploy it.

In an overheated market, holders of mining equipment jumped into hosting arrangements at short notice with owners of small facilities, some of whom had no prior experience and insufficient expertise, who agreed to install the equipment and run the mining operations on their behalf.

But the haste with which these hosting relationships came together, in the name of striking while bitcoin was hot, says Harvey, set many of the partnerships up for failure. There was limited due diligence conducted by parties on both sides, delays in kitting out facilities and deploying equipment, and disputes over payment terms, he says, among other points of friction. “It's a snowball effect where everyone just ends up getting pissed off with each other,” says Harvey.

Though the American market proved more expensive and bureaucratic than some Chinese businesses expected, says Harvey, problems were also caused by the hubris of facility owners, some of whom found themselves in over their heads. “It’s no joke running a [bitcoin mining] operation of any kind of scale,” he says. “Just because the Chinese are tough to do business with, doesn’t mean they are the ones in the wrong. I would say that blame is equally shared.”

The law firm acting for Mohawk in its dispute with HBT, Anna Whites Law Office, has represented multiple owners of small facilities in Kentucky in similar legal conflicts with Chinese partners. The cases differ from the Mohawk situation, says attorney Anna Whites, founder of the firm, but share a common thread: “We saw a pattern that [companies with ties to China] would ship in machines with uncertain provenance, mine very heavily for three months, then run without paying the bill,” she claims.

Some of the cases settled out of court; Whites is unable to supply the details for reasons of client confidentiality. But others continue to drag on.

Biofuel Mining, a company formerly co-owned by Smith, is involved in legal tangles with two companies that Whites believes to be run out of China: Touzi Tech and VCV Power Gamma. Although both are incorporated in Delaware, per SEC filings, they conduct business in Mandarin and cannot be reached at their listed US addresses, Whites claims. “It's pretty standard for the foreign entities from any country to get a short-term office so that they have less scrutiny from US investors and government agencies,” she says.

In both cases, Biofuel claims, the firms shipped equipment from China to its hosting facility in Eastern Kentucky, then walked away with the bitcoin produced, leaving behind hundreds of thousands of dollars in unpaid energy bills and hosting fees.

Biofuel reached a settlement with Touzi in early 2022 for $60,000, but despite having handed back the mining equipment, it claims not to have received the sum it is owed under the agreement.

In the still-unresolved spat with VCV, Biofuel received permission from the Martin County Circuit Court in Kentucky to sell off the mining equipment, claims Whites, to recoup a portion of the funds it is owed (she has not confirmed the amount), but she alleges that no damages have yet been awarded. VCV has stopped responding to communications, she claims.

Biofuel has since dissolved, put out of business by the failed hosting ventures. “I literally lost my house—I lost everything. It financially ruined me,” says Wes Hamilton, former Biofuel Mining CEO. “I’m just so frustrated about the whole thing.”

WIRED contacted VCV and Touzi for comment, but did not receive any response.

There are few financial recovery options for companies like Mohawk and Biofuel. The situation is made more difficult, as in the Mohawk case, if they are dealing with so-called special purpose entities. Because they are set up by their parent companies for a single specific business venture, these entities need not be concerned about their long-term ability to operate in the US.

“It certainly can be more difficult to recover damages from a non-US counterparty,” says Kim Havlin, a partner in the global commercial litigation practice at law firm White & Case. “There is certainly a risk that an entity that doesn’t need to be in the US may just ignore the case.”

Even if the Kentucky facility owners win out in court, it could be difficult to collect any damages awarded. “A judgment is essentially a piece of paper. Any judgment needs to be turned into assets or cash in order to be valuable,” says Havlin. If the opposing party refuses to pay up and has no US assets to collect against, sometimes that isn’t possible.

Almost a year after the dispute began, the Mohawk case is stuck in legal limbo. In a setback for Mohawk, the presiding judge recently denied its motion to dismiss HBT’s complaint, on the basis that it had failed to sufficiently back up its argument. The judge also pushed Mohawk’s countersuit into arbitration, a forum for resolving disputes privately instead of in open court. Non-US parties tend to prefer arbitration as a way to “remove a home forum from both sides,” explains Havlin. “You can pick an arbitral seat in neither country as a means of creating a neutral playing field.” A parallel federal court hearing is set for December to consider whether an injunction should be imposed on Mohawk, preventing it from selling off the remaining HBT equipment in its possession.

Smith has given up on the idea of recovering the full amount he claims to be owed. “We’re at the point that it’s almost silly to even be arguing about breaking even,” he says.

In an interview with PBS that aired in September 2023, touting the Mohawk Energy facility, Smith said he hoped to prove that not every business that blew into Jenkins would abandon the area. “I’ve stood at their ribbon cuttings, then watched them leave. I’d like to do something to let people know that not everybody is like that,” he said.

After the relationship with HBT collapsed last year, Smith faces the prospect of Mohawk becoming yet another false start. With the facility inactive, the company has been forced to dismiss the former coal miners brought on as technicians. (It is unclear how many people it employed.)

The Mohawk facility was perhaps never set to revitalize Jenkins in the way Smith hoped, anyway. “I would say that a rural community benefits very little from a bitcoin mining facility. In terms of job creation, it’s minimal in a lot of cases,” says Harvey, the consultant. “It's certainly not the savior to a dwindling community.”

Nonetheless, Smith remains hopeful of salvaging the crypto mining project, with a new partner. “I’m hoping that this gets settled in the way that it should and that somebody comes forward and lets us go through with the vision that we wanted for this region,” he says. “I hope every day that maybe some big company will see that there's a place ready to go in this part of the country.”

Otherwise, Mohawk’s dalliance with bitcoin mining will become a cautionary tale. “It was very hurtful to see these families lose their income. We were one of the biggest payrolls in Jenkins,” says Smith. “It adds insult to injury that I’m sitting here arguing in court.”

Navigating Court Mediation: Resolving Disputes with Efficiency and Fairness

The Role of Mediation in the Justice System

Court mediation offers a practical and effective way to resolve disputes without the need for a full trial. By facilitating open communication between parties in a structured setting, mediation provides an opportunity to reach mutually beneficial agreements while saving time, costs, and emotional stress. It’s an essential component of modern dispute resolution within the legal system.

Court Mediation: A Structured Resolution Process

Court mediation, often initiated by the courthouse, involves a neutral third party—the mediator—who guides the disputing parties toward a resolution. The process focuses on identifying key issues, exploring possible solutions, and fostering agreements that satisfy all sides. Mediators maintain impartiality, ensuring the discussions remain constructive and fair. Many courts encourage or mandate mediation to reduce caseloads and promote quicker resolutions.

Courthouse Mediation: Accessible Solutions for Legal Disputes

Courthouse mediation is commonly used for small claims, family disputes, landlord-tenant issues, and other civil cases. It offers a less adversarial alternative to traditional court proceedings, with the added benefit of confidentiality. The mediation sessions often occur within the courthouse but are separate from formal hearings, providing a private and focused environment for negotiation.

Dispute Mediation: Benefits for All Parties

Mediation helps preserve relationships by encouraging collaboration rather than confrontation. It empowers parties to control the outcome, resulting in tailored solutions rather than court-imposed judgments. Additionally, mediation is quicker and more cost-effective, making it an appealing option for individuals and businesses seeking to resolve disputes efficiently.

Conclusion: A Path to Fair Resolutions

Court mediation, courthouse mediation, and dispute mediation serve as vital tools in modern conflict resolution. By prioritizing open dialogue, fairness, and efficiency, these processes provide an alternative to litigation that benefits all parties. Whether you’re facing a legal dispute or seeking resolution, mediation offers a reliable path toward equitable and lasting agreements.

Property Leasehold in Phuket

Phuket, Thailand, with its pristine beaches, vibrant culture, and thriving tourism industry, has long been a popular destination for foreigners seeking to invest in or rent property. While the process of leasing property in Phuket can be relatively straightforward, it's essential to understand the nuances and legal considerations to ensure a smooth and successful experience.

Understanding the Types of Leases

Short-Term Leases (30 days or less): These are typically used for vacation rentals and are generally managed by property management companies. They offer flexibility but often come with higher rental rates.

Long-Term Leases (1 year or more): These are more common for individuals seeking a permanent or semi-permanent residence in Phuket. They provide stability and can often result in lower rental rates.

Key Considerations for Foreigners

Lease Agreement: A well-crafted lease agreement is crucial to protect your interests. Ensure it clearly outlines the rental amount, duration, maintenance responsibilities, security deposit, and dispute resolution procedures.

Visa Requirements: Your visa status will significantly impact your ability to lease property. While some visas allow for long-term residency, others may have restrictions. Consult with immigration authorities to determine the appropriate visa for your circumstances.

Property Management: Consider hiring a reputable property management company to handle day-to-day tasks like rent collection, maintenance, and tenant disputes. This can save you time and effort, especially if you're not residing in Phuket full-time.

Local Laws and Regulations: Familiarize yourself with Thai property laws and regulations, including tenancy agreements, rent control, and dispute resolution processes. It's advisable to consult with a local lawyer to ensure compliance.

Rental Market Analysis: Research the rental market in your desired area to understand current rental rates, demand, and trends. This information can help you negotiate favorable terms and make informed decisions.

Cultural and Social Norms: Be mindful of Thai cultural and social norms, especially regarding tenant-landlord relationships. Respecting local customs can contribute to a harmonious living environment.

Tips for Successful Property Leasing

Thorough Inspection: Before signing a lease, conduct a thorough inspection of the property to identify any existing issues.

Negotiation: Don't hesitate to negotiate rental rates, terms, and conditions. A well-prepared and informed approach can lead to favorable outcomes.

Emergency Fund: Set aside an emergency fund to cover unexpected expenses, such as repairs or maintenance costs.

Communication: Maintain open and effective communication with your landlord or property manager to address any concerns promptly.

By carefully considering these factors and following the guidelines outlined above, foreigners can successfully navigate the property leasing process in Phuket and enjoy a fulfilling experience in this beautiful tropical paradise.

Normally the settlement of claims to property are something the court system takes very seriously. The very foundation of capitalism after all is that some person can claim ownership of a piece of land, and through that ownership charge others rent to use it.

Or that ownership of machinery can be used to take most of the value of what the workers using the machines produce to sell for profit. Obviously such a system depends on the courts and the threat of violence to prevent those actually doing the work or living on the land telling the ‘owner’ to get lost.

The major exception is when those with the legal claims are from the First Nations, in particular when the claim is one of collective ownership by a community to the land. Then rather than usual pattern of careful investigation and prompt decisions we see the most absurd ‘sales’ treated as valid, legal documents all but torn up and legal processes drawn out for decades without conclusion. Meanwhile the courts are used to suppress the protests of those who appear to have the best legal claim to ownership.

In 1995 Tyendinaga Mohawks submitted an official land claim which included the gravel quarry worked by Thurlow Aggregates. It took till 2003 for the claim to be acknowledged as legitimate by the Canadian government. Yet this did not halt the quarrying, the Ontario government continued to renew the license to Thurlow and thousands of truckloads of gravel continued to leave.

Another occupation began February 2006 when members of Six Nations reclaimed the Douglas Creek Estates bordering Caledonia. Their claim is based on the fact that the so called agreement where they were said to have surrendered this land was obviously invalid. Yet far from waiting on the sidelines until the courts resolved this the police in April moved in to evict them.

So why don’t the Canadian courts jump to the defense of indigenous property rights in the manner they would if workers occupied a factory or tenants refused to pay rent to a landlord?

Fundamentally they face the problem that courts all over the Americas face. Capitalism in the Americas was built out of a massive theft where the existence of the indigenous populations who were living on the land was not even recognized. Indigenous nations that tried to defend their usage were murdered. Many were enslaved in the mines and the estates of the new owners. Across the America’s any legal system that recognized the de facto claim to the land by those who had been living on it would undermine the base of North American capitalism.

Historic conditions in Canada meant that here more than elsewhere the colonial power was forced to concede some recognition that there were people already living on the land. Legal treaties recognizing this are thus more common and of quite recent origin. Yet at the same time a significant wing of capitalism in Canada makes it profits from the massive extraction of resources from the land covered by such treaties.

A speedy and fair resolution of the land disputes would be a major problem for these corporations and the courts and government know this. This is why last August Canada was one of only four countries to vote against a UN declaration on indigenous rights.

Understanding the Basics of a Deed of Covenant: A Comprehensive Guide

Introduction

In the realm of legal documents and real estate transactions, the term Deed of covenant may sound complex and intimidating. However, it's an essential legal instrument that plays a crucial role in various property-related matters. In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into the fundamental aspects of a Deed of Covenant, breaking down its purpose, key elements, legal implications, and why understanding it is vital for anyone involved in real estate transactions.

What Is a Deed of Covenant?

A Deed of Covenant is a legally binding document commonly used in real estate and property-related matters. It serves as an agreement or promise made by one party to another, typically involving property rights, obligations, or restrictions. These covenants are enforceable by law, ensuring that both parties fulfill their respective roles and responsibilities.

The Purpose of a Deed of Covenant

1. Property Development

One of the primary purposes of a Deed of Covenant is to facilitate property development. In situations where multiple landowners or property developers are involved, this document ensures that everyone adheres to certain rules and regulations, such as maintaining common areas, contributing to maintenance costs, or adhering to architectural guidelines. These covenants help maintain the overall aesthetics and functionality of a development.

2. Restrictive Covenants

Deeds of Covenant are often used to establish restrictive covenants. These are limitations or conditions imposed on a property owner to restrict or regulate the use of their property in a specific way. For instance, a residential neighborhood might have a covenant prohibiting commercial activities within its boundaries to maintain a peaceful living environment.

3. Lease Agreements

In commercial leasing, Deeds of Covenant are used to outline the responsibilities and obligations of both landlords and tenants. This can include matters related to property maintenance, rent payment schedules, and dispute resolution mechanisms.

Key Elements of a Deed of Covenant

A Deed of Covenant is a formal legal document that typically includes several essential elements:

1. Parties Involved

The document identifies the parties involved, including the covenantor (the party making the promise) and the covenantee (the party benefiting from the promise). Full names, addresses, and legal entities are specified for clarity.

2. Recitals

Recitals provide context and background information about why the covenant is being made. They explain the reasons behind the covenant and any relevant historical or legal context.

3. Covenants

This section outlines the specific promises, obligations, or restrictions being made by the covenantor. These promises can vary widely and must be clearly defined to avoid ambiguity.

4. Consideration

A Deed of Covenant typically includes a clause detailing the consideration exchanged between the parties. This might involve financial compensation, services, or other forms of value.

5. Duration and Termination

The document may specify the duration of the covenant and the circumstances under which it can be terminated or modified. This helps clarify the longevity and flexibility of the covenant.

6. Signatures and Seals

To be legally binding, a Deed of Covenant requires the signatures of all parties involved. Some jurisdictions also require the use of seals, which lend additional authenticity to the document.

Legal Implications

Understanding the legal implications of a Deed of Covenant is crucial, as breaching its terms can have serious consequences. Here are some important legal considerations:

1. Enforceability

Deeds of Covenant are enforceable by law. If one party fails to fulfill their obligations as outlined in the document, the other party has the right to take legal action to seek enforcement or damages.

2. Third-Party Rights

In some cases, a Deed of Covenant may grant rights to third parties who are not direct parties to the agreement. This adds complexity to the legal relationships involved and must be carefully considered.

3. Land Registry

Deeds of Covenant are often registered with the land registry or relevant government authority. This registration ensures that the covenant is legally recognized and can be easily discovered by future property owners and interested parties.

4. Legal Advice

Given the legal implications and complexities of Deeds of Covenant, it is advisable for all parties involved to seek legal advice before entering into such agreements. This ensures that the document is drafted accurately and in compliance with local laws.

Conclusion

In conclusion, a Deed of Covenant is a vital legal document used in various real estate and property-related transactions. Its purpose extends from facilitating property development to imposing restrictions and obligations. Understanding the key elements and legal implications of a Deed of Covenant is essential for anyone involved in real estate deals, as it ensures clarity, compliance with the law, and protection of the rights and interests of all parties involved. If you are considering entering into a Deed of Covenant, it is highly recommended to consult with legal professionals to ensure that the document serves your intended purposes and is legally sound.
