Nvidia RTX 5090 shipment worth $470,000 goes missing in Brazilian airport — two pallets disappear, distributor seeks explanations but met with zero answers - Tom's Hardware

The distributor, which has been in business for 38 years, never experienced anything like this before. They took to Instagram to plead for information about the missing GPUs, which were valued at approximately R$2,500,000.

Oderço has not provided specific details about when the shipment was supposed to arrive or any tracking numbers. The company claims their inquiries have met with zero answers from authorities.

The RTX 5090 is Nvidia's latest graphics processing unit, representing the cutting edge of consumer graphics technology. The disappearance of such high-value tech components highlights significant security concerns at major international airports.

As of now, it remains unclear what happened to the shipment or if authorities are investigating the disappearance. The company's public appeal suggests they may have exhausted official channels without resolution.
