"This Singapore client wants a bazillion H200s".

Not really that complicated of a scheme! The main thing is that the sales people... they "know" this is likely export control circumvention but choose to not make a stink about it. Willful ignorance.

Often times these export control issues play out like:

- big deals made with shell companies

- most people involved are incentivised to play along and pretend to not notice the shell-ness of the company

- one person doesn't get the memo and is like "uhh... wait isn't this bad?"

- now that the phrase has been uttered, either cover ups happen or a bunch of other nasty shit happens
