        I imagine trump to be a lot like my geratric mother who has schizoaffective disorder. You try to tell her things but she never actually listens/cares - and then she proceeds to speed talk about herself for the next 45 minutes.

    Even if they were both single she is still an executive of a company that was nvidia’s customer. Which is malfeasance.

    https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/alice-huang-chinese-businesswoman-tied-nvidia-ceo-went-finance-chips-2026-11-10/

    There is no chance Jensen Huang treated nvidia’s other customers the same as his sidepiece.

    So this is Treason, right? Wouldn’t this count as a crime under ITAR as these chips are likely used for AI in military applications? Or is that a stretch?

      the USA isn’t at war with China, so no treason.

      there hasn’t been a treason conviction since the 1950s, regarding Americans who worked for Axis powers during WW2.

      The first I heard of this story I had a gut feeling it’s gonna be the biggest of the last decade.

      I have a feeling that the AI bubble popping is gonna end up coming back to this, and it’s going to be labeled treason.

      Not that it wasn’t gonna burst anyways. Idk.

        Yah this proves he knew what he was doing and colluded with the government…this seems like a way bigger deal than is currently being discussed. Maybe it because more details are just leaking out but yah…bubble popping potentially and then this.

    Apparently Nvidia’s most effective export control is controlling which government office gets to investigate its exports. A chip smuggling probe gets bounced between agencies while the CEO’s personal entanglements loom over it. At this point, the real national security vulnerability might be the revolving door.

      They certainly showed that the chips were ending up in China as if the restrictions didn’t exist. I don’t think they had the whole story. Zitron had the other parts though.

    I mean gamers nexus I am pretty sure covered this a year ago in their GPU black market video? And I don’t think that was breaking news from them it was just reported on because they were seen together regularly? So it’s not like people didn’t know. And we all saw them be buddy buddy, and we all know Trump loves corruption so I mean none of this is a surprise?

      Echoes of Epstein to be sure.
