alt Hacker News> Wtf why is everyone assuming Nvidia skirted an export ban
Because the woman he has an affair with happens to run a shell company that funnels chips to China and skirts the export ban. What a coincidence, huh?
I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that.
Affairs don't take down CEOs of major public companies. It's kind of assumed that they all do it. Like, how many subordinates of Elon supposedly had one of his kids?
Everyone involved has to be CYAing. It's pretty likely that a whole boatload of people were involved and none of them want to be the scapegoat that gets to go to jail for it. If they can sell this as something as simple as Jensen getting tricked by a cute spy, then everyone involved can sleep easy and Jensen will probably keep controlling things behind the scenes for a while.
