Brazilian police investigating the theft of two pallets of Zotac RTX 5090 GPUs worth about $470,000 from São Paulo/Guarulhos airport say three outsourced workers were involved: two forklift operators seen on CCTV removing the pallets and a third employee accused of clearing the goods through electronic security checks. Separately, a Brazilian TV network identified one of the missing cards listed for over $6,000 on the marketplace OLX, after the seller's photos accidentally showed a serial number matching the stolen inventory; the listing has since been removed.

An Indian Reddit user says Zotac denied warranty service for a GeForce RTX 3060 Twin Edge purchased in June 2025 and registered days later, even though Zotac's standard policy covers cards for three years. Zotac told the customer its records show the card was imported in April 2023, and that warranty runs from the import date rather than the purchase date, so the card fell outside the coverage window. The company advised the buyer to seek help from the original retailer instead.
