In a sad turn of fate, 40 cargo boxes of RTX 3090's were stolen from MSI's factory in China this morning, amounting to $336,500 worth of stolen graphics cards. MSI has notified the police regarding the matter and posted a reward of 100,000 Yuan ($15k) for anyone who has useful information regarding the RTX 3090 cargo boxes' whereabouts. 

 

MSI's communications on the matter indicate that the factory's shipping area is covered by video surveillance. The company also frequently inspects the trucks that come in and out of the campus. As a result, MSI believes an insider stole the cards. MSI also offers clemency for any participant that steps forward, provided they help locate the stolen items.    

 

My thoughts

Ah, balls. Is something going on with MSI? Their CEO jumps out a window or something, they get caught extorting YouTubers into not giving negative reviews of their laptops, they get caught scalping their own cards, one of their Chinese factories catches fire,and now this.
