>> >It’s untrue that AWS knew about a supply chain compromise

Same paragraph, they state:

> We’ve found no evidence to support claims of malicious chips or hardware modifications.

That's about as good a denial as you'll get from somebody with a lawyer.

“We’ve found no evidence” ⇒ Somebody else found the evidence.

This is fun.

You can read any sentence to mean anything else if you want, but all you'll get is a degree in literature.

“AWS didn't know about it” ⇒ The relevant part of Amazon is not in the AWS organization.

I mean... yeah of course. There's always a chance that something happens and you don't know about it.
