Strange things happen in the world of video games that we never expect to see. Don't believe us? Well, then let us tell you that in China, two people will go to prison after attempting to smuggle graphic cards and living lobsters.
Customs authorities in Hong Kong reported that a pair of individuals were arrested after attempting to bring an illegal package into the country. What did it contain? Approximately 280 kilograms of living lobsters, as well as 70 graphic cards. All of this content was in a van that the arrested declared as empty.
The graphic cards they attempted to smuggle were identified as the Nvidia Quadro K2200 model, which were released in 2014 and sold for around $160 USD each. It's interesting that they tried to bring them into the country, as they are old cards that are not particularly useful for gaming or crypto mining.
At the moment, authorities continue to investigate the situation, and it is unknown why they attempted to smuggle this content. However, they did mention that the intercepted content has a value of approximately $600,000 USD. We don't know if this is because lobster is extremely expensive in China or if these GPUs are very valuable on the black market.
What do you think of this news? Did you ever imagine that someone would bring lobsters and graphic cards together in the same shipment? Let us know in the comments.
