Nvidia RTX 5090 shipment worth $470,000 goes missing in Brazilian airport
Brazilian electronics and IT distributor Oderço claims that two pallets of Zotac RTX 5090 GPUs have arrived at the airport but has since completely disappeared.
Brazilian electronics distributor Oderço announced on Instagram that they are missing a shipment of RTX 5090 GPUs, valued at around $470,000 or R$2,500,000. The company has never experienced such a situation in its 38-year history, and they received two pallets of Zotac RTX 5090 GPUs at Guarulhos International Airport in São Paulo, but they have not received any confirmation about the delivery.
The company has not provided specific details about the shipment such as arrival date or tracking numbers, but they have reached out to the public for answers on their Instagram post. The RTX 5090 is currently in short supply worldwide, with production rumors suggesting Nvidia may have ceased manufacturing the card to focus on more expensive professional AI cards.
The company claims that the missing GPUs are valued at R$2,500,000, and they estimate that they are missing at least 63 GPUs, which is significantly more than the two pallets they received.
