The loss comes amid a global shortage of RTX 5090 cards, which have vanished from many retailers since mid-September, making such a large missing shipment harder to replace quickly. Based on retail pricing cited in the report, the missing GPUs could number in the dozens or more, suggesting a costly disruption for Oderço regardless of whether the cause turns out to be theft, mishandling, or a logistics error.
