    This is, 100%, without a doubt, just a way for him to avoid legal liability for doing things of his own free will. He wasn’t complicit in smuggling! He was taken advantage of by that irresistible Chinese succubus! It’s her fault!

    Now, I don’t really care. I think it’s great that he’s bypassing US sanctions. Altho I would prefer China have its own domestic chip manufacturing and not buy from companies like this, but until that is fully developed they need to get by somehow. But yeah this is the most obvious scapegoating I’ve ever seen.

    In fact, I’d like NOBODY to buy from companies like this. NVIDIA should crash and fucking burn.

      Yeah a real honey pot would have been steeling the next gen chip plans so the Chinese could move ahead and fab their own stuff.

    Ah yes, because NVIDIA’s Huang famously never closed his eyes to smuggling without a blowjob. He also never lobbied US gov’t to let him sell chips to China.

    What’s this bullshit trying to accomplish, launder Jensen’s image as a US patriot or something? Or is this insurance against being dragged in court by the democrats for “睜一隻眼閉一隻眼“ (“Open One Eye, Close One Eye”)?

    IMO, this is probably a lie manufactured by the Trump Regime. Trump just wants to steal Jensen’s fortune, and to punish a “china man” for daring to do well in life.
