How would fraud help here? Don't they just need scale of lots of customers paying a little bit? How do you fraud your way into that?

That's not fraud, and it's not sustainable. They aren't going to just keep doing that. It only makes sense if an AI company wants to pay for GPUs with stock, and - more importantly - the GPU company agrees to sell in exchange for stock.

s/fraud/corrupt, illegal $something.

If you're picking on my vocabulary, that's fair. Fraud wasn't the point, I think you're smart enough to realize that.

I appreciate the implication that either you're right or I'm stupid, but maybe you should write the comment you meant to write.

Trading shares for GPUs is not corrupt either.
