I assume one of the Billet folk must have shit in his cornflakes or turned down a sponsorship request or something along those lines.

I might be spreading misinformation but I've seen it mentioned by multiple sources so I'll take a lesson from LTT, Linus invests in a company that makes gpu waterblocks.

Do you have a source? The only notable investment of his I’m aware of is framework.

Someone in the chain assumed that there were spare 3090s and just stole the card that came with the block. Obviously for a cheeky tech makeover bit.

Maybe the reason that it turned up again recently was because they saw everything catch fire, panicked, and put it back?

Either that, or LMG's logistics just put it in a general GPU pile without putting it with the cooler, so when they couldn't find it with the cooler, it was assumed lost.
