Thanks. I have my popcorn in hand but... so far it looks mostly terrible for the commerce department. Huang? I don't know.

Maybe the board knows more, and that's why they are "preparing to oust" him. Or maybe it's about the sex scandal.

I don't have money in NVDA but if I did I would certainly want him to stay at his desk until we have the actual gun.

He caused Nvidia to violate export-control law. To help a Chinese intelligence asset’s company. He then corruptly quashed the investigation using Nvidia’s resources. Those are crimes.

I do have money in Nvidia. I want Huang gone. If he stays, there is a real chance the hammer about to fall on him destroys Nvidia as well.

That’s before the shareholder and supplier lawsuits extract billions from the company. Before states’ AGs extract more. Before the Congress lobs a grenade at a Silicon Valley that honestly doesn’t seem to get why this behaviour is contemptible.
