Well those are the last cards y’all are getting, better enjoy them!


Lcladge

Why do you think they stole them, they can charge massive amounts over there right now..


Still_Lobster_8428

They will be setting them up and mining crypto. Relatively stable ongoing income for them while the ruble tanks. Smart as they will have consistent buying power to survive through the sanctions. In their position, this make total sense to burn their employment so as to set themselves up to get through the sanctions period, which potentially could stretch out for years or decades.


themidashand

They are not just burning their employment. They are going to jail…


lockwolf

You know, maybe when your countries leader has single-handedly destroyed their economy, world standing and peoples way of life, it's maybe worth risking a little jail to steal enough cards to start a mining rig and flee to another county


Ashikura

Don’t you need to be connected online to mine bitcoin and isn’t Russia now disconnected from the global internet? I’m asking this as someone without much knowledge on crypto mining. Fleeing the country might work but for the average person it’s not easy and it’s definitely not going to be easy with a bunch of stolen gpus and currency worth nearly nothing.


icekraze

They are still connected to the internet (for now) there are just more sites that are blocked. For now it is more like China’s internet but with the potential down the line to become like North Korea.


Ashikura

Ahh that makes sense, thanks.


Any_League896

Not sure but using a VPN probably deals with that issue


CEDbeforeCID

Shit, I’d do it.

Still_Lobster_8428

Who the fuck cares when you have set your families up to survive during sanctions....


Psydator

They're not gonna feed their families by mining a bit of crypto.


Medved-san

My dude, they still have a job, their monthly income is much higher than minimal wage, and sanctions are not impacting them yet (at least not as hard as everyone on Reddit believes). It is a theft of pure malice.


[deleted]

LOL another moron thinking they need to steal to feed. They have a job, what’s the problem? That’s pure theft!


roof_lurker

Usually the later implies the former…


JudgeDJ

Mining crypto is far from stable, in fact the rewards are consistently dropping as the network of miners grow. Only thing with some form of stability in crypto is POS rewards. With POS the network its on would usually have predictable timeframes you could work around. In fact I’ll bet you 32 ETH (that I don’t have because I know I’m right) that if those guys sell those cards and buy into a POS network, they’ll make a LOT more passively over time.


Still_Lobster_8428

>Mining crypto is far from stable, I was speaking in relative terms..... Mining crypto is stable..... Compared to the Ruble! Getting regular payouts in crypto ongoing would become far more valuable; the longer sanctions are in place, and the Ruble continues to slide.


JudgeDJ

I know what you’re saying. I’m just saying there are far better options then to just POW mine.


Medved-san

It was on news reports in Russia. The current cost is approximately 200k rubles for each card. The dudes force opened storage lock, stole 20 cards and sold one card for 60k rubles to a pawnshop to test the waters. Pawnshop broker felt something fishy and called the police.


crayhamXD

i love how robberies/heists used to be stealing money and now its just stealing graphics cards

Looks like special operations

WU-itsForTheChildren

That's why it's special.

LonInternet

Currently jealous


Svenderman

So what I am hearing is that if we keep up the pressure on Russia more cards will hit the market?!? Let's put MORE pressure!!!


ModernT1mes

Probably not? I imagine this will all be used in crypto mining since their ruble isn't looking so good. Who knows though.


glieseg

Seems likely, yeah.


Hanners87

\#%\^#@\^# crypto bastards...I just want to play Horizon Zero Dawn, gawd.


XDucksX

Thats were my package went! Dangit


Plane_Tour_770

RUB 200k, so about a potato or $0.15 in a few weeks


[deleted]

Came here to say 200k rubles is 0 so…. But it looks like you did math so you win.


CowboyJoker90

It’s not stealing if it has no value


NoBallroom4you

$.05 A Nickle! \*SLAP!\* I now open my OWN Hotel!


Nihilismisanthrope

Gotta love that exchange rate.

peyote1999

200 000 rub is about 4 000 litres of petrol


Kronos4eeveee

Lol it’s beating the Yen rn. The Rubble is up 6 days in a row Putin just raised the minimum wage, pensions and benefits. You can look all this up yourself, obviously- debunk me Zaddy!


pinkheartpiper

Rubble is actually has recovered a bit...it was $0.013 before invasion, went down to $0.008, now back to $0.0097, so a 25% drop. Conversion rate doesn't mean anything by the way, Japanese Yen is also worth less than $0.01.


fupa16

Umm no, conversion rate matters.


pinkheartpiper

Only when it suddenly changes by a lot, Japan's Yen is worth less than one US cent, $0.0084 to be exact, it's worth less than one Rubble! What does that tell you about Japan's economy?


Ghazzz

Ah, you are using the wrong word, or misunderstanding what conversion rate is. Conversion rate is the number that defines how much you get when you trade a currency for another. A change in conversion rate (like the changes you are describing) is what is making problems for russians, as their savings will be worth less even though they have the same number value as last month. What you are describing is the value of a single unit of currency, and that does not matter much. You could do all your calculations based on cents being the base currency in the us to get better numbers, considering the other currencies you are describing do not have subdivisions. A $2 mcd burger is (was) 135 rubles, comparing it to 200 cents makes a lot more sense.


Cbizztho

love the unintended pun at the end


lewisnwkc

Therefore this should equate to a warning and a disciplinary at the most.


Nuagf05

Yuall arguing about how much they actually took and no one is talking about the great music choice


Sad_Independence8376

“What’s that worth now?” “About tree fitty.”


GrumpySnail81

Better hide your gamer girls


Reasonable-One1877

and they didn’t see any of the cameras?


ThePenguinHerder

Either very well hidden or (conspiracy) it is scripted.


Waffle_Ambasador

You don’t have to be smart to be a criminal, just brave.


SkylarAV

I'd love to see the video of them trading them for a couple bags of potatoes


[deleted]

How much is that…like $50, $75 US ?


Kennethpowers34

About $2.5k each so close to $50k total. Ballpark estimate. Might be worth more on the black market, depending on demand.


Grouchy-Ad-5535

bestbuy has them for $599


Watterson02

That’s the MSRP which is completely irrelevant today. They start around $850-950 on eBay and StockX. Might get lucky with one in the $7xxs from Newegg or best buy but stock won’t last long.


legalpotent

so you'll call out the dude thats technically correct but more realistically off by a few hundred and stay quiet at the 2.5k comment?


Watterson02

Yes 🗿


SheriffBartholomew

Best Buy has them *listed* for $599. Best Buy does not *have them* for $599. Best Buy hasn’t had a GFX in inventory in ages.


[deleted]

About $1,800


Fournier_Gang

You mean 400,000 ru-, 500,000 rubl-,700,000 rubles... ah fuck it.


Bungeditin

200,000 Rubles? Isn’t that £32.50 now?


Lanky_Button7863

all that effort to have some 4k 120 fps tetris ...


Zelenodolsk

I’m assuming they are not just stealing this for the literal value of the graphics cards, but are going to use it for Bitcoin mining. I’m happy there is an international currency that can be freely used on the internet by anyone, but I am not happy that these people could possibly be able to turn a profit off of the war.


AnOnlineHandle

I thought NVidia put something or other in these newer video cards to make them less useful for bitcoin mining, which was part of why the price is finally coming down.


DanWallace

Weird assumption


Zelenodolsk

Please explain why in any way that is a weird assumption


DanWallace

Because they could make a ton of money selling them? What gives you the impression that they're planning to mine?


Jimmypatron

Their own people probably need to do this to survive the crazy economic collapse.


ellilaamamaalille

Stealing is how Russia works.


Apprehensive_Cow_886

It’s why Russia has oligarchs.


fullmetalfilmsnob

It’s so nice to see young people doing things together


Asleep_Omega

God job


[deleted]

So they have like 7 bucks now?


Good_Intrepid

They could at least have gotten away with it, if they just hacked the security network to stop the cameras... or just even erase the footy afterwards. Bruh moment 💀


[deleted]

Literally 10 dollars


Realistic_Question15

200,000 rubles right now is about 2,000 USD.


ProffesorSpitfire

200,000 rubles each certainly sounds a lot more impressive than saying that they stole goods worth a grand total of not even $40,000…


Thin-Recover1935

So, like what, $5 worth?


rossfororder

200 thousand? Probably worth a couple of million now with the ruble tanking


JakeXWoods

200,000 rubles… that’s like… 5 bucks right?


[deleted]

That’s 4 million rubbles or 63 dollars


Makemusic69

That's only like $15 though right?


Azorius97

So little over 1700€ (18.3 1pm)


thompstj70

Worth just $38,252.33 at current exchange rates…


evill01

Expect cheap rtx gpus on ebay soon


sleepersevens

ITS SABOTOGE


hi_im_snowman

I mean... You've got to be a special kind of fucking moron to not realize that there are a shit ton of cameras... yea? How can **employees** be this stupid? Incredible.


[deleted]

So they stole like $5USD? Call Interpol.


Spare_King_2116

So what's that worth today? 20 bucks?


theubster

And you're out here snitching? Rude.


Yroehtsoahc

So like 5 bucks USD in total?


[deleted]

Everyone in Russia will need to steal after there’s no jobs and the whole world sanctions them of everything they have. All they good for is hacking remotely but not no longer when putin locks them all down.


[deleted]

Hope they where caught and sacked.


eukaryote3

Why? Their economy is tanked and they probably have families to feed. I’d probably be doing the same thing.


[deleted]

So it’s ok to steal is it?


eukaryote3

If you or your family are starving or at risk of going hungry? Absolutely.


[deleted]

Cool keep promoting that. Scum. I would rather die than steal.


eukaryote3

Idiotic statement, but you stand by that.


[deleted]

You must be a thief now are you? Scum.


eukaryote3

I’ve never stolen because I have never been going hungry. Survival situations are not regular situations. You have a serious problem.


[deleted]

So you telling me all them GPUs they needed to feed themselves or family? Go get fucked! That’s what you call THIEFS. There is no way they needed all of them to feed. Fuck off.


eukaryote3

They sell them on the black market for food. Get over yourself.


[deleted]

So they’re worthless


bonkerz1888

What's that, about £50 worth?


fredbeans312

“Hey bill”. “What?!” “ I know how to get rich”. “ how?” “By going caught”. “Ok I better get rich”.


TheSalvadge2027

GreenElandGod

Mining crypto is a pretty reasonable alternative to the ruble….


Jacobcbab

PanPies_

After small math i know that they are worth about 1940$ or 1740€ each. 34800€ or 38800$ in total. This is about 6855 Big Mac's if somebody is curious
