Whatever. These tech CEOs all have such a humiliation fetish. The letter is short because that's how long it took him to finish.

Alright, we forgive you. Just make the GPU prices 3 times lower.
You know the leather jacket must have stayed on the whole time
"I am deeply sorry I got caught. But rest assured, I will not do anything about it and continue to be a piece of shit making the world a terrible place."
Admitting it only when finally caught, and not a resignation letter. So weak.
AMD must be itching to announce Lisa Su was cheating with a spy that's not as good, but has somewhat better value
Oh wow, this is much spicier than I thought. Thanks for the much needed context!
...it says a lot that you read his statement and still had no clue what actually happened.
Well, it's very vague. It reads like an admission to a wrongdoing of some kind, never going into specifics. Until I read Eager Eagle's comment, all I could glean is that his family and the company were affected in some way. Very corpo-speak.
Yeah, my best guess is he needs to avoid saying anything in case there's legal repercussions (including divorce), but also just generally avoid providing any information that isn't already public to avoid damaging his image further...
No wonder he kept on saying that they had investigated all possibilities of GPU smuggling and found nothing, saying that it doesn't happen.
Any non-C-level employee would have been walked out the door immediately for passing secrets to a spy. The CEO does it and the worst that happens is he has to write a letter saying "so sorry". Considering the sell off which has been happening of NVidia stock, I can't help but wonder how many people who didn't hand over secrets to a spy for a quick fuck will lose their jobs while this guy either stays employed or takes a golden parachute.
He was only faithful to the billionaires.
And his fellow C-suite and other CEOs will continue to do so.
I hope he gets what he deserves.
I think this is the best possible thing to say, if he wants to keep his job. Let's see if he gets to keep it.
Maybe the board should replace him with an AI: lower wages, it can't cause any scandal, every action can be logged in real time, and most importantly, it can give a recipe for a delicious meal.
