Timeline of US government knowledge
Late 2024 — Commerce Department investigation begins
A Commerce Department official visited Megaspeed's data center in Malaysia and found NVIDIA equipment still sitting in shipping boxes rather than installed. This raised suspicions about possible chip diversion.
2025 — Singapore investigates
Singaporean authorities reportedly questioned Alice Huang as part of the broader investigation.
Approximately late 2025 — Trump receives intelligence briefing
According to the October 29 NYT report, Trump was briefed about intelligence suggesting Alice was working for Chinese intelligence.
Early 2026 — Intelligence memo circulates
A memo reportedly detailed Alice's recruitment by China's Ministry of State Security and her efforts to gather information about Jensen Huang.
2026 — DOJ takes over investigation
The investigation into potential chip diversion reportedly moved from Commerce to the Justice Department.
October 29, 2026 — Story becomes public
The New York Times publishes its investigation into Alice, Megaspeed and Jensen Huang.
The Financial Times reported that an intelligence-based memo was shared with a small group of senior officials before Trump's May 2026 summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
That suggests senior US officials had information about the alleged espionage operation months before the public learned about it.
So why wasn't Jensen Huang warned? That's arguably the biggest unanswered question.
There are two competing considerations:
Warning Jensen could have protected him and NVIDIA from further intelligence gathering.
Warning him could also have alerted Alice that she was under surveillance, potentially compromising the investigation.
The NYT reported that officials apparently chose not to give Jensen a defensive briefing.
My takeaway: This wasn't a sudden discovery in October. US authorities had been investigating Megaspeed since 2024, and intelligence concerning Alice reportedly reached senior government officials by early 2026 at the latest.
What remains unclear is exactly who knew what, when they knew it, and why the government allowed the situation to continue without warning NVIDIA's CEO.

NOBODY WILL HELP THESE KROGER EMPLOYEES @JDVance
THIS IS YOUR HOME STATE. 3000 OHIO JOBS.
KROGER SLASHING 3,000 MORE AMERICANS TODAY AS THEY OUTSOURCE JOBS TO INDIA
Greg Foran became Kroger CEO on February 9, 2026. He ran Walmart US from 2014 to 2019. In 2016 he pulled accounting and invoicing out of every store and erased 7,000 back office jobs.
In 2018 Walmart handed its finance and accounting operations to Genpact, a firm with most of its workforce in India.
NOW HE IS USING THE SAME PLAYBOOK TO CUT JOBS AT KROGER
On his first earnings call in March, Kroger announced the Indian “Global Capability Center." CFO David Kennerley told investors it would "streamline decision-making, improve productivity and increase the speed at which we execute."
In July, consultant Brittain Ladd, citing people inside Kroger, reported the center is in India and the target is $500M a year in labor savings. At $87,500 per offshored role, that is roughly 5,700 US jobs.
3,000 MORE OF THEM CAME TODAY
His memo to employees today: “Our business is becoming leaner, more focused and more competitive. This transformation will also result in fewer roles across the company, which means we will reduce our corporate workforce across many functions.”
Code for, fuck your job, I can get it done cheaper in India.
Just look at what Foran has done with his executives. Jamie Lancaster, Global VP of the Kroger Capability Center, out in May. Tim Massa, Chief Associate Experience Officer, out. Valerie Jabbar and Joe Kelley, SVPs of Retail Divisions, out.
Foran replaced them with Walmart people. Mark Ibbotson is now Chief Store Operations Officer. Nate Faust is Chief E-commerce Officer. Both worked at Walmart with Foran.
Both know how to help Foran outsource American jobs.
We’re past the it’s not happening to it was a mistake phase. LOL 😂
