      Do you have any evidence to suggest that this public figure, embroiled in a controversy over allegedly betraying his wife, was actually in an open relationship?

      The difference here is extremely important because spies will blackmail people over things they weren’t supposed to do. This isn’t about puritanically wagging the finger, it’s about an important person being compromised.

        Alice Huang is CEO of Megaspeed, a customer of nVidia who bought $4.8b in chips legally, then illegally sold $2B to China.

        Both Huangs are fucked, this is violation of ECRA, smuggling, fraud, wire fraud, serious prison time unless pardoned by some corrupt President.

        And that’s why Nvidia lost $20 in a single day.

      The relationship is not the issue. She was a Chinese spy manipulating Nvidia’s Huang.

          So Nvidia didn’t recently get caught selling $2B in chips to China? This is just a coincidence? She was an executive at MegaSpeed, buying $4.8B in chips, then selling $2B to China. It’s her company.

          You seriously thought she was romantically linked to a 63 year old executive?

              She committed fraud for the sole benefit of the Chinese state. Sure, you can just frame this as an “open relationship”, but there is some serious fraud and smuggling going on here for the Chinese state.

                She committed ‘fraud’ (aka making a normal private business deal) for a private Chinese company. The Chinese state is currently fully invested in their own hardware which is only a few years behind (and catching up incredibly quickly on the compute side).
