Two entire pallets of RTX 5090s have 'gone missing' from a Brazilian airport—$495,000 worth of unobtanium graphics cards now presumably at large

In a surprising turn of events, two full pallets of RTX 5090 graphics cards have vanished from Guarulhos International Airport in Brazil, valued at approximately R$2.5 million. Brazil-based electronics distributor Oderço announced the disappearance on Instagram, expressing concern over the sudden absence of these rare Zotac GPUs.

Oderço CEO Matos stated that this occurrence has never been witnessed in the company's 38-year history, urging for clarification on the incident. The company has not disclosed the shipment's arrival date or tracking information, only emphasizing the need for answers. Matos further suggests that the missing wares may have been stolen, hinting at the unlikely likelihood of the GPUs being misplaced.

The value of the stolen graphics cards, when broken down into individual units, could amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
