Last month, Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Customs officials seized 308 tenth-generation Intel processors, which smugglers attempted to smuggle.
ΑThis event took place on 16 June and processors were mostly models i7-10700 and i9-10900K.
This incident, of course, becomes more bizarre, as the smugglers tried in a rather old-fashioned way to achieve their goal. Specifically, 256 from the processors were found on the body of one of the drivers. Well read, a vehicle driver has processors of almost total value tied to it 100.000 dollars!
A second attempt was made on 26 June, when found 52 processors in a vehicle, between the driver's seat and that of the front passenger. These events are highly likely to be linked to the global hardware shortage.
Especially in some parts of China, things are even worse lately. Intel processors are easier to get than graphics cards, so maybe those in charge focused on those attempts.
Recall that in China it was banned cryptomining, leading many miners to smuggling and black market related activities. Of course. such incidents are likely to affect the cryptocurrency market, either indirectly or directly.
