Summary

Due to a simple administrative error, a South Korean port employee stumbled upon 500,000 nVidia RTX GPUs!

... the employee (himself a player and waiting for an RTX 3080) decides to open a box. To his surprise, the boxes were full of RTX 3080 ! Neither one nor two, Choi warns his superiors of his discovery. After investigation, it turns out that these 500,000 Nvidia graphics cards were placed in this container.

 

My thoughts

With half a million highly sought GPUs sitting in an abandon container, bots may be in luck!
