These mines exist because the globe is hungry for gold. If the mint isn't buying it, the big tech firms are for their electrics. The issue is it's usually purchased through a chain of dealers/distributors who "may not know" the exact source of the gold. So the end buyer can claim a bit of ignorance because they just buy from their trusted sources .
A decent documentary on it is Netflix Dirty Money series, worth a watch.
