Whitehouse knew it months ago… why is it coming out after election? Not sure how it would have impacted it beforehand.

> why is it coming out after election?

Jensen had the choice of coming clean like this, where half of Silicon Valley is rallying to his defence and he remains a multi-billionaire (and maybe saves his marriage), or having this exposed by the new Congress, at which point all manner of punitive countermeasures against Nvidia are on the table.

Currently, Energy & Commerce and Oversight & Investigations are asleep. Come January, they won't be.

Huang, like a lot of Silicon Valley, thought their guy would stay in power and protect them.

Maybe a way to dump stocks without everyone screaming insider trading.

better question would be why is it coming out before trump's visit to China next week, let's not forget the first story was about Chinese spy, it's a bit of strange coincidence

there is possibility someone overplayed their cards and didn't think of possible consequences, OTOH maybe they wanted to kill two birds with one stone
