alt Hacker News> He had a long-term mindset, investing heavily in Tegra and CUDA in 2009-2010, even as he was plagued by write-offs from faulty chips.
He didn't seem to have a long-term mindset when he knowingly violated export control laws (the feds are, in general, super serious about export controls) and securities laws (the feds are also, in general, super serious about whatever they consider securities fraud) over the course of at least the last six months.
It's frustrating because it was so easily avoidable. Just don't do crimes with nation-states.

Why do you say this? Perhaps he did but I haven’t seen it in the news. There were no export controls against a a Megaspeed.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he did because it would clarify NVIDIAs decision to get rid of him.
