盜取600部用來做比特幣挖礦的電腦的主腦人Sindri Thor Stefansson由冰島監獄逃走，當地警方相信他已坐飛機去了瑞典。
冰島警方上月拘捕11人，他們涉嫌4度入侵數個數據中心，盜取600部比特幣挖礦電腦，其中Stefansson被視為主腦。當地媒體指案件是冰島近代最大宗盜竊案。
冰島有豐富的天然資源支持可再生能源，電費相對世界很多地方來得便宜，吸引虛擬貨幣投資者大批湧入，在當地建立超級電腦基地，齊齊挖礦。

在Stefansson逃走前10天，他被轉送到冰島南部一所保安程度甚低的Sogn監獄，距離凱夫拉維克國際機場約95公里。Sogn不設圍欄，囚犯可以使用電話、上網，反映當局認為Stefansson不是一個危險的犯人。

有報道指，警方相信Stefansson是從監獄的一個窗口逃走，並以假護照登上飛機。獄警要到航機離開了冰島前往瑞典，才發現Stefansson不見了。當局還要翻查機場的錄影片段才知道Stefansson已經離境。而他乘坐的航班，據報還是同冰島總理卡翠恩‧雅各斯多提爾（katrin Jakobsdottir）同一班機。雅各斯多提爾是前往斯德哥爾摩會見印度總理莫迪。
案件中失竊的電腦至今仍未尋回，總值大約200萬美元。連同在3月初被捕的11人，警方就這宗案件，前前後後總共拉了22人，當中包括保安員，但仍未破案。
冰島大學社會學系教授Helgi Gunnlaugsson表示，這宗案件在當地非常轟動，把這樣矚目的犯人置於低設防的監獄本身已相當離奇，更甚是犯人的越獄安排：「在冰島，所謂越獄多數是囚犯出去喝酒然後醉了，要匿藏是極難的事，因為所謂的地下世界其實很細，更莫說要潛逃他國了。」
當局已就Stefansson發出國際拘捕令。

Iceland's Bitcoin heist suspect 'flees on PM's plane'
Image caption Sindri Thor Stefansson was arrested in February
A man suspected of masterminding the theft of 600 computers that were being used to mine virtual currencies has escaped custody in Iceland, police say.
Sindri Thor Stefansson escaped the low-security prison through a window and fled to Sweden on a passenger plane that was also carrying Iceland's prime minister, local media report.
The ticket had another man's name and he was identified through CCTV video.
The stolen computers, which are still missing, are worth $2m (£1.45m).
Mr Stefansson was among 11 people arrested in February suspected of involvement in the case, dubbed by local media as the "Big Bitcoin Heist".
The computers were stolen during four raids on data centres around Iceland, a popular location for such centres because almost 100% of the power generated in Iceland comes from renewable sources and because of the cool climate.
Ten days before his escape he had been transferred to Sogn open prison in rural southern Iceland, some 95km (59 miles) from Keflavik's international airport.
The prison is unfenced and inmates have access to phones and the internet, local news website Visir reports (in Icelandic). Sindri Thor Stefansson was not considered a dangerous inmate.
Prime minister on same flight
Details are still unclear but the suspect reportedly escaped early on Tuesday and guards reported him missing only after the flight had already left Keflavik for Arlanda airport north of the Swedish capital, Stockholm.
Iceland's Prime Minister Katrin Jakobsdottir was on her way to Sweden to take part in a meeting between five Nordic prime ministers and India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi. She has not commented on the escape.
