A Chinese spy, $7.5 billion in smuggled Nvidia chips, and a Commerce Department investigation that got buried, that's the real story behind Jensen Huang's sudden resignation from NVIDIA. Alice Huang's company Megaspeed allegedly kept banned AI chips flowing into China long after Nvidia blocked them internally, and Washington looked the other way. With Anthropic's IPO and $105 billion in OpenAI commitments now at risk, Nvidia's new leadership has days to figure out what comes next.
