Investigators recovered two stolen trailers carrying $1.3 million in data center supplies, including copper wire and infrastructure equipment.

That copper is already in circulation!
I was waiting for this
Don’t tell them there’s copper and other precious metals they can steal in AI datacenters. Also, most definitely DO NOT tell them most AI datacenters are completely unstaffed and easily accessible.
Copper by weight is cheap as hell. RAM & NVME drives are a WAY better ROI. It wouldn’t even be worth carrying the whole server.
Copper is way easier to fence and way easier to steal. The RAM and NVME aren’t getting installed until the building has functional security. The mile of copper wire to run power is locked in a trailer and might not even have a permanent fence around it yet.
Bro, watch/read Catch Me if You Can. Frank Abagnale is one of my heroes, like Joseph Smith is, and for the sane reason Christ is our lord. The audacity of a man in reflective vest, hardhat, with ladder and/or clipboard to walk confidently into a building to waltz up to the seventeenth floor to steal state secrets? Well, I’ve only done that four times, so it’s not like I’m an expert or anything.
Young entrepreneurs just pulling at those little bootstraps, Regan would be proud of their ambition in advancing their station.
Regan sounds like some sort of sect of veganism. They refrain from consuming animal products unless the animal signed a consent form, which is prolly what’s coming with Neuralink. People can’t handle same sex marriage, so what happens when animals consent? I’m not even a furry, I’m a foot fetishist, but ethical bestiality is coming in the next generation, I would say. And damn is Fox News going to implode!
Regans only eat the recycled waste of vegans.
I would pay seven figures to be the caboose in a human centipede
Isn’t this just going to raise prices? Not a win for fuckai folk?
Not if the equipment gets unloaded in the black market.
Now do: thieves are flooding the secondary market with HBM.
How bout me?
Do crimes.
Be gay.
Do gay.
Gay as a day in May
Flayed, I say the way to pray is hey! Hallelujah!
This is the way. More people need to do this.
I would, but I know the FBI is watching me from inside my own brain AND from satellite AND wifi
Hell yeah! More people should steal from data centres.
I’ve read science fiction books in which humans scavenged the machines’ supplies like rodents scavenging from a kitchen, and now it’s reality.
Copper theft has always followed expensive infrastructure. AI data centers are just the newest high-value targets.
True. You can see this with charging stations for EVs as well. Not uncommon that some pos mfs cut the charging cables because they want the copper in it.
Oh no, I really hope they don’t specifically target the tesla-only chargers…
in 2008 when the housing market fell into a hole, people were ripping out copper before the banks kicked them out.
This is TERRIBLE! WHY can’t they Target SCHOOLS or Homeless shelters INSTEAD?
-Republican Voters!
LOL. I fact, LMAO.
Sloppy investigative work, really. Did they ever even stop to consider the possibility that the trailer simply just did that?
Finally, a positive benefit to failed capitalism!
