They likely came for silicon—but left with silica.

    Which is also a jackpot for all intents and purposes. A lot less trackable as well. Unless each grain of sand has location settings enabled

      High purity quartz sand, like that used for electronics manufacturing, is only about $50/ton. So 20 tons would only be about $1k.

      It was a simulated load for a self-driving truck company. So really just normal sand. NVIDIA is fabless, they just design chips.
