Investigation into Nvidia GPU smuggling
- Thread starter Grim5
- Start date
As the video shows, most rtx5090 is coming into China from students, mostly Chinese students in Australia and other countries going back home. Foreign students in Australia buy a 5090 from a pc store then take it back to China when they go home and then they sell it in China for big profit of between $700 and $1500
This is occurring because the departure airport's security is not either checking bags for banned GPUs or due to lack of training, they simply don't know a banned GPU from a non banned one and so they don't care if someone is carrying a GPU in their bag
Doing this from the USA might be more difficult, maybe their airport security is training to look for RTX5090 but airports in Australia etc probably don't give a crap because no one is breaking Australian law
