Two billion dollars worth of sales doesn't seem like the kind of thing any single person could be "fooled" into signing off on.

Almost reads like standard Chinese business practice to me. Not to defend any of these grifters. Also , theres some dry humour in the article:

Notably, Jensen is currently married to his wife of 41 years

“currently”, haha

It's always the ones you most expect.

He thought she was really into leather jackets.

OMG, that's got to be dozens of 64GB sticks!

Was her opening line "I love leather... jackets"?

US intelligence believes Stupid Jacket had romantic relationship with Chinese spy in honeypot operation — spy suspect linked to company accused of smuggling $2 billion in AI chips

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.

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”)?

I wonder if he wrote his apology letter or if he has Ai do it for him.

industrial espionage of course.

OK, we're finished using you now! Bye!

How does she look?

Another pathetic loser, sociopathic manipulative piece of shit. Should be bullied to suicide. Fuck the lot of them.

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.

Indict that bitch!

The value of the chips is probably less important than the possession of them that allows them to reverse engineer them, if they haven't already.
