If true, the facts alleged here are pretty damning for NVIDIA. Claims from the report: - While NVIDIA claims that its compute revenues from China have dropped to zero, over 20% of its FY2026 AI compute revenue was driven by China, both through illegal chip smuggling and the use of intermediaries in SE Asia. - This revenue seems to have come from an overlapping network of SE Asian companies and shell intermediaries who use a common playbook: install dummy servers in their data centers to fool inspections, then smuggle the actual servers into China. - At the center of this is the Singaporean company Megaspeed, which seems to be implicated in a bunch of different smuggling cases. The report also alleges that they maintain very close ties with NVIDIA, including Jensen personally. About Megaspeed: - Allegedly, Megaspeed was secretly financed by the Chinese company Alibaba via a series of shell companies. - They received $4B worth of AI servers from Aivres Systems. Aivres was formerly known as Inspur Systems but was rebranded after its parent company was added to the US Entity List (a blacklist used to restrict exports of controlled items, such as AI chips, to particular entities). Aivres is one-third owned by the Chinese state. - Bridge Data Centers (BDC), a Singaporean hyperscaler backed by Bain Capital, dropped Megaspeed as a client. A source cited by the report claims that BDC had found that Megaspeed was installing dummy servers in their Malaysian data centers and smuggling the actual AI servers into China. - Megaspeed also appears to be linked to a shell entity called OBON - they have overlapping websites and shared officers/shareholders. OBON was reportedly an intermediary used by Supermicro (a server manufacturer) in smuggling at least $2.5B worth of NVIDIA servers to China. The DOJ indicted three Supermicro individuals for this case, including one of the co-founders. The pattern here was the same – dummy servers placed in inspection locations while the real AI servers are shipped to China. - According to a Megaspeed employee, Jensen visits their data centers every few months, almost always at the same time as Alibaba representatives. He has also been spotted on several occasions meeting with one of Megaspeed’s execs, Alice Huang (a Chinese national). - NVIDIA reportedly has several partners that work with Megaspeed, including Giga Computing and YTL, which recently opened a $4.3B Blackwell-based data center in Malaysia. Also of note: - Many of these sales involved indicators that should have flagged NVIDIA’s KYC protocols to prevent smuggling, such as recently incorporated customers suddenly placing large orders. Multiple former NVIDIA employees agreed with this. - As of October 2025, NVIDIA changed the way it reports geographic revenue, eliminating Singapore as a reported geography. This was at the same time that Singapore went from ~9% to 20% of revenue, and was facing heavy scrutiny as a smuggling hub.

@wesyang @FriedrichHayek Dont overlook the impact of a smartphone in every child’s pocket

It will take a while to prove that the equity agenda is the culprit here, but I will boldly predict here that any reality-based accounting of why this happened will find that it wasn't merely a coincidence that we turned our schools into neo-Maoist indoctrination factories at the same moment that basic skills fell off a cliff but in fact directly causal

Roberto Sánchez es el mayor ejemplo del oportunismo político. En el golpe de Castillo quiso sacar cuerpo, hoy se vende como defensor del castillismo. Es una de las construcciones más hipócritas de la izquierda.

The Great Peoples Cultural Revolution in China was an exercise in collective madness, launched by a paranoid leader in a quest for absolute power. To wit:

Where Miami's foreign buyers came from in Q1 2026: 1. Colombia 15% 2. Argentina 11% 3. Mexico 7% 4. Brazil 7% 5. Venezuela 5% Colombian buyers spent $925M in dollar volume, up from $307M in 2024. Years ago, it was Argentina & Brazil at the top of the list. Interesting to see how economic changes in certain countries brings an inflow of capital to Miami.

@HungThrottle Agree with this

@ericfarns Best way I heard it explained is a candidate cannot win by taking Lima only, they must also get rural support.

Peru is divided on virtually every axis: geographic, economic, rural/urban, racial/ethnic, political…it’s amazing the country continues to work as a democracy and outperform economically

🇧🇴‼️ BOLIVIA EMITE ORDEN DE CAPTURA CONTRA EVO MORALES. La justicia de Bolivia acaba de emitir orden de captura contra Evo Morales tras su juicio por trata de menores. Ni Evo, ni sus abogados, se presentaron al juicio en el que se le acusa de abusar a una niña de 15 años cuando era el hombre más poderoso del país, con la que incluso tuvo una hija en 2016. La justicia presentó MÁS DE 170 PRUEBAS contra Evo, lo cual hizo que cancelará su presencia y darse en paradero desconocido.
