Sponsor: Thermaltake TR200 WS mATX Case on Amazon https://geni.us/bviRvG Supermicro leadership were indicted for allegations of GPU smuggling in a story that ties-up loose ends from our investigation late last year. Now-former Supermicro staff are accused of using a "decoy" server scheme wherein warehouses and server rooms would be dressed-up to pass inspections and act as a go-between with China, lining-up with our own findings investigating the GPU smuggling supply chain in August of 2025.

I was here before the video got bloomberg'd.
There is no GPU smuggling in Ba Sing Se. That is Nvidia right now.
“We investigated ourselves. We found nothing wrong.” -That person
"Every so often someone says, you know, these GPUs are being smuggled. I really would like to see it." "Wait, no, not like that." -Jensen, probably
Had to watch this before it gets taken down
You guys do unbelievable work. That fact that you have a second channel even more focused towards the consumer is insane. The whole team, you guys are amazing! Tell Steve's hair I'm it's biggest fan
Straight to jail.
"Smuggling Server Racks of GPUs that weighs several tons would be very hard!!" Because shipping smaller parts to be constructed into a larger project on-site is simply unheard of!
Undercutting big heatgun with those hairdryers is the real issue here.

We have another major investigation piece coming up soon! Should be within 2 weeks. Watch our GPU Black Market Smuggling Documentary: /watch?v=1H3xQaf7BFI If you missed it, we hacked a PS5 and put Linux on it: /watch?v=I2OsvSc8VeE And our tariffs documentary: /watch?v=1W_mSOS1Qts
Entire shipping containers of cars are smuggled out of the country regularly, it's not a stretch to think GPU's could be.
In before you-know-who tries to take the video down. again. The first GPU smuggling video was so, so good. Im forever angry at them for taking it down and thus tanking the views.
For them getting found out is a business expense. Bet a couple years later, he'll be back in the office for getting away with doing it.
Guy who sells X doesn't believe X is being smuggled
"Web of lies, obfuscation, and concealment" is rich coming from the government.
2:30 Such a pathetic lie hes trying to sell. They aren't smuggling the racks they're smuggling the GPU dies.
"it's impossible to smuggle tons of GPUs" gets real funny when you consider the literal metric tons of drugs getting seized each week by USBP and OFO, and start thinking about the quantities that don't
I don't care whether GPUs end up in China or US data centers, I just want the bubble to pop.
Clearly Supermicro didn't donate enough for the ballroom.
