This happened last year, and is being resurfaced with investigations into Jensen’s honeypot affair:
> Investigators at the Commerce Department were deep into a monthslong investigation of a Singaporean company that they suspected of smuggling Nvidia’s artificial intelligence chips into China when their work came to a sudden halt late last year.
> The investigation centered on Megaspeed, a data center company led by an executive who U.S. officials now believe to be a Chinese spy who had a relationship with Nvidia’s chief executive, Jensen Huang.
> But the case was abruptly transferred to the Justice Department last year. The shift came after Commerce Department investigators working on the case received an email from Nvidia’s general counsel seeking information about the inquiry into Megaspeed.
The story is sounding more like Nvidia knew Megaspeed was smuggling chips to China, didn't mind (illegal), and actively worked to hide it (ultra illegal).
It's very hard to see a scenario where someone doesn't go to jail.
Ironically, Jensen Huang almost gets a free pass publicity-wise because everyone thinks he was blinded by love.

Yes, it’s the actual, real scandal. And Trump is actively looking for a political win after the elections, doesn’t feel too great to be NVIDIA CEO right now
