According to Mash, in the Podolsky district (Moscow region), employees of the Wildberries warehouse organized a criminal community and stole 20 Nvidia 3070 Ti video cards from the warehouse. A new such card costs more than 240 thousand rubles.
The incident was captured by the warehouse's internal surveillance cameras. Attackers in purple sweatshirts entered the closed inner area of the warehouse with goods. They pretended to collect a large online order. In a few minutes, they took out 20 NVIDIA 3070 Ti gaming video cards from the closed warehouse area.
The thieves acted openly, walked along the corridors and warehouse premises to the place of the crime and then to the next place, where they handed the video cards through the window to their accomplices.
After committing the theft, they decided to sell the goods at a pawnshop for 60,000 rubles per card. But the pawnshop employee realized that these were not ordinary sellers and contacted law enforcement agencies. As a result, all those involved in the theft of video cards were detained by law enforcement officers.

On October 29, 2021, a large shipment of NVIDIA graphics cards was stolen in the US. EVGA was transporting a shipment of GeForce RTX 30-series graphics cards from San Francisco to a distribution center in Southern California. Vehicles with adapters left for the route, but did not deliver the cargo to the final destination. In January 2022, stolen EVGA GeForce RTX 30 series graphics cards were discovered by members of the gaming community 12,000 km from the crime scene in Vietnam. They were sold by a local retailer at a fairly attractive price, but with a limited one-month warranty.
