Where the chips went — Nvidia counted a Singapore company's chips and came up about 50,000 short - TMI Special Feature

Jensen Huang is gone. Nvidia offered no reason. And in the two weeks before his resignation, a story broke that should concern every American who cares about what we sell, who we sell it to, and whether anyone is actually watching. A Singapore company called Megaspeed, previously the Singapore arm of a Chinese video game developer, imported at least $4.6 billion in Nvidia hardware and 136,000 of the most powerful AI processors American industry makes. When Nvidia inspected Megaspeed's data centers on behalf of the US government, they found about 86,000. Where are the other 50,000? Nobody with public authority has finished answering that question.

Paul walks through what's confirmed, what's alleged, and what's still blank space on the page: the alleged Chinese intelligence asset, the romantic relationship Huang admitted to his staff, the 193 servers sitting in a Shanghai data center pledged as collateral, the $510 million smuggling indictment in New York that shows what diversion looks like when prosecutors can prove it, and the four federal agencies that reportedly wanted Megaspeed blacklisted while Commerce stalled. This is national security, corporate accountability, and the rigged game of export controls colliding in real time — and Congress is finally moving. If you want to understand where America's AI edge is actually going, start here.
