The farm was most likely used to run FIFA 21 all the time with the help of boots, thanks to which the game currency accumulated on the relevant accounts. It could and did not have to be exchanged for cards, and as a result it is more of a sale of entire accounts. Such a business would be hard to pay off for operators without a free energy supply, but they could make a decent living with it thanks to 3,800 consoles.
