It is no surprise that users are paying high prices for a graphics card these days, but what has happened this time could take a toll on the group of people who have organized to steal a total of 340.000 Dollars on NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics cards 3090 from an MSI factory.
While unknown how this happened, is estimated to have been stolen, as we can see in Tom’s Hardware, some 340. 000 dollars worth of graphics cards , something that would amount to about 40 pallets of t cards, something that would be equivalent to 220 cards, so the company firmly believes that they are a robbery that has involved workers of the company to get ahead.
MSI also indicates that the factory shipping area It is covered by a video surveillance system , as well as that the trucks entering and leaving the area are inspected, something that reinforces MSI’s suspicions that it is a Organized robbery with company workers.
It is to be expected that many of these cards will appear in second-hand sales channels, such as eBay, at prices much higher than usual, so it would be important not to acquire cards in advertisements of this type to curb the appeal of these acts .
