There is a lot of discussions on Export Ban. Does selling to a Singapore Company with Chinese Stakeholders considered illegal under those ban? Does Nvidia have to track every single GPU sold or even resold?

I was under the impression he sold it to a Singapore company, or even any other companies. What those companies do with those GPU is not his fault.

This whole thing is just a sad story.

Singaporean company whose former managing director and owner (through a self-titled company) is the same person he's had an extramarital affair with.

The same company they've audited the datacentres of, and saw dummy non-running servers within which had been stripped of their GPUs, and were 'fooled' that they were simply yet to be commissioned.

Plenty of companies are started by Chinese Nationals. Including inside US.

On 2nd point, even Hyperscalers have large stack of GPU sitting idle yet to be commissioned.

The point is that there is clearly knowledge of the company having heavy ties to China - his affair partner owned it. Therefore, heavy caution should be taken with regard to export controls. Instead it acted like a gold stamp.

Yes US hyperscalers have plenty of hardware but are running out of 'warm shells' to put them into. It's not much of a problem in Southeast Asia.
