    spicy take…he knew who she was but used her to access a denied market and circumvent export bans from the Biden era. This is the real story the media isnt focused on because the relationship makes better headlines/sex sells

      bingo. The interweb is flooded with “it was just a sex scandal” comments. He fucking smuggled controlled chips via MegaSpeed and he’s looking at export law violations , plus wire fraud. Try this as a single meatbag and you could get 20 years. Let’s see how far the Trump bribes will help him.

      There’s been enough investigative journalism into this for at least a year if not more, shell companies in Singapore and all.

      Also the Chinese gov’t has been blocking imports in China for a while in order to force domestic chip use.

        He’s not resinging because of side pieces…

        It’s because one was a spy for the Chinese government.

        Multiple countries should be doing independent parallel investigations, it will likely all be swept under the rug to save the AI industry.

          It’s too early simplistic to stop at he slept with a spy

          He was having a multiple years long affair with a Chinese intelligence asset who ran a Chinese chip manufacturing company. So that’s someone who the CCP felt they could exploit, and who has a ton of in-field knowledge and would deeply understand any info from him.

          Just the divorce is going to cost him almost a 50-100 billion dollars (depending where the stock price settles on his 4% split to 2%). Throw in the job loss on a job he’s done for nearly 34 years. That’s a lot of leverage.

          This situation was massively exploitable, multiple intelligence agencies knew, the White House knew and decided to leak it after midterms.

          I’m going to guess there’s more to this, and probably some George Bluth style “light treason”. I’d bet money he’s been blackmailed by Trump admin, I’d bet money he’s has leaked material non public info (violating at minimum SEC rules), and that he probably approved deals that avoided sanctions, given the billions of chips sales that bypassed export laws.

          I think he’s probably resigning because he’s knocked 1/3 off the stock price of the most valuable company in the world by being so, so stupid. This has got to be in the top 5 biggest screwups in business history, I mean this is solidly in “do not go into buildings taller than 1 storey” territory. God, what a beautiful thing it is…

            It’s more likely the prior crash was due to signs Republicans would lose the midterms…

            If the crash months ago was because people found out he was banging a spy, that’s a huge fucking deal because it was either insider trading as governmenta found out, or people found out and just never reported to governments.

            Or shorted the stock then reported.

            Regardless of what happened, there needs to be a shit ton of investigations over this.

            This isn’t just profits, it’s national security for a shit ton of separate countries.

    Apologies, but I don’t really get why these issues are being exposed all over so awfully about the person life of the poor person who is getting ashamed, reputation getting damaged, and what’s more important, his wonderful personal, private life is getting exposed and preserved in the history…

    These lovely cases must still be approached with pure respect for private life of everyone, and understanding, because we all are human who have feelings, and this is absolutely normal to make mistakes in love sometimes trying…

    Relationships, affairs, love… this is personal and must be respected. These are some of the most complex subjects, if not the most… and infinitely magnificent feelings… where sometimes the heart and hope wins over rational actions…

    Yet, this is true for every single human, isn’t it? This is true about me, I believe, too. This is true about people I know in overly serious and responsible positions at critical decisions for business and lives of other people… and they know that, and stay careful.

    And these cases, vulnerabilities, or operational risks… are also covered on military classes, as leadership and security awareness courses, to stay responsible for actions and consider the future - to remind that you must always evaluate the long term consequences, to the point to decide quickly in full action.

    This is matter of the heart… human emotions… infinitely powerful aspects of human nature… the dear love…
    There’s nothing to be ashamed of.

    Yes, you must stay truthful to your half… the ring bound promise, which is a miracle if from love…
    But it is fundamentally… absolutely normal, awesome to try searching for your soulmate if you don’t have peace at heart, making mistakes, trying hard…

    // - - -

    Such public cases are either designed for public (e.g., to derail attention from something more important), or those that get out of control, which is relatively rare, I believe.

    It is rare to get exposed on public since these relationships are known to limited number of people, aren’t they? So samizdat is rarely responsible for it, and mass publishers are normally supervised by governments, which is expected for them to stay responsible for control of events.

    Even if circumstances and consequences may be monumentally tragic or overly serious, this is love which is no less serious, and miraculously lovely awesome…

    // - - -

    I was unfaithful to my wife. My actions hurt her and our children. There is no excuse for what I did. I am deeply sorry…

    To my wife and family: I love you. I know an apology cannot undo what I have done. I hope our family will heal and that, over time, I can earn back your trust…

    My family bears no responsibility for my choices. I do. Please give them privacy.

    ~ Jensen

    Source: https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/a-message-to-our-company

    // - - -

    And I just heartfelt sorry for the person to receive so much shame, hatred, mockering, hostility, ridiculing from public… for just his attempts to find love, his peace at heart…

    There is no shame in that, I believe, absolutely. This is his business to be not exposed so disgracefully on public.

    This is a miracle to proud of, to understand, and respect always.

    Sincere heartwarming hug, dear Jensen… I am… sorry… for the people to ridicule on it you nor anyone deserves…

        A lot of people who like AI are going to be asking AI why an extramarital affair is a big deal, and ignore the whole spy aspect of it.

        Sometimes intentionally to defend AI, sometimes because they’re just so brain rotted to not understand why that matters.

        Not only that, but the person worked hard ~33 years and supported raising Nvidia to the point it is now.
        We, human, make mistakes, and our reputation must recover those until possible.
        Yet, they just fired him, shame him, and ruin him, for what?

        It’s sorrowful to know so many people could not care less, follow trends, and are being manipulated as designed by those who control news…

          Jensen, bud, you are in a vulnerable state. I suggest you get off the internet for a while. Go take a walk in the woods in your nice warm jacket. Talk to a therapist about what was working and what was not in your relationships. Take a few moments to just breathe.

          Fortunately for you, the 24 hour news cycle moves on to the next thing very quickly. The internet will still be here, when you return, in a less erratic state.

          for what

          The narrative about him having an afair is just spin, the reason he resigned was illegally selling billions of dollars worth of chips to china. Fuck his titty-signing love quest or whatever, I want the fucker crucified for all the illegal shit he did in exchange for getting his rocks off.

          I’ll spit on him for betraying us, the people who raise and support his company in the first place. And let’s not pretend his life is ruined. He’s still billionaire, even with the divorce payment he is still billionaire. He can live in his mansion the rest of his life not feeling any of this noise outside. That is the kind of man you’re defending.

          Once a cheater, always a cheater, and he proven that with the second allegation. But more importantly, that cheating bled into professional life, and I’m siding with the ones who are suggesting he knew the one was a spy and was using her as much as she was him.

          Dude had a freaking empire that he ruined by several dumb moves, he deserves anything he gets. Not sure what angle this empathy scheme is pulling, he isn’t going to give you a call.

          I’ll be willing to bet he just got careless, and these are the latest ones that got revealed. Again, one doesn’t just cheat out of the blue, it’s their nature. His wife should tell him once and only once, “talk to my lawyer”.

        These happen every single day, which are miracles from certain viewpoints, as based on infinite human feelings…

        …spymasters worldwide used the amorous arts to obtain secrets from their enemies. Known in the trade as “honey traps,” rivals ensnarled their adversaries in this game of love, lure, and lies…

        After the end of World War II, the East German authorities constructed the Berlin Wall in 1961; dividing East Germany from West Germany. Neither side trusted the other and both were anxious to know what the other was conspiring.

        Because of the war, many women of marrying age had taken jobs in business, government, parliament, the military, and the intelligence services in West Germany, and they often had access to highly classified government secrets…

        Romeo spies were a cost-effective way to steal secrets.
