Nvidia definitely has a lot of skeletons in their closets with respect to anti-competitive practices.

But even beyond that, any government would be within its right to start action against their dominance in the GPU compute space (e.g. making CUDA an open, independently managed, standard that Nvidia would have to do their absolute best to comply (or Huang would have proper liability, not american style).

Same with their schemes around sanctions busting. If I was American, I would be extremely pissed off with how they are being handled with kids gloves for what is essentially treason (i.e. from my limited understanding the highest penalty in the US would be capital punishment).
