WSJ: "As recently as the summer of last year, Singapore was officially one of Nvidia’s biggest markets, generating 22% of the chip maker’s revenue. Then, practically overnight, it disappeared from the company’s financial disclosures. Investors deserve to know why, and Nvidia needs to start explaining, with or without Jensen Huang at the helm. The timeline indicates that Nvidia altered its methodology for reporting the geographic breakdown of its revenue shortly after placing Megaspeed International on an internal block list. It isn’t clear if the two are related, but the shift had the effect of removing visibility into Nvidia’s sales tied to Singapore. That is the home to Megaspeed, the cloud-computing company embroiled in a sex-and-espionage scandal that has engulfed Nvidia and its chief executive."

I jumped out of airplanes for a living. I served in Iraq and Afghanistan. I won’t be intimidated by a corrupt White House and its bootlicking lawyers.
.@NewsHour has obtained this letter from White House counsel Will Scharf sent to likely incoming Oversight Chairman Robert Garcia. Scharf writes that congressional oversight must “further a legitimate legislative task.” And accuses Democrats of “abusive and capricious threats”

NEW: Trump administration officials for years have been scrutinizing Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, with warnings over his business operations in China and strong advocacy for curtailing U.S. export controls.
Those concerns were brought to the White House and largely ignored prior to revelations he was having an affair with an alleged Chinese spy.

🚨 IMPORTANTE
Exclusiva de Reuters muestra el verdadero móvil de la operación militar que llevó a la captura de Maduro
La investigación reveló que una semana antes de la operación militar del 3 de enero, el vicepresidente JD Vance abordó la futura venta del crudo venezolano con un operador de la firma Vitol y megadonante de su campaña, allanando el camino para que Vitol y Trafigura recibieran sin licitación el monopolio de comercialización petrolera que ya les ha generado cientos de millones de dólares.
Registros de vuelo ubican el avión oficial de JD Vance y el jet privado de John Addison (operador de Vitol) juntos el 27 de diciembre en Bozeman, Montana, rumbo al exclusivo Yellowstone Club.
Según una fuente enterada del encuentro, Vance preguntó qué tan rápido podrían vender el crudo venezolano si EEUE tomaba el control del suministro.
Aunque Addison negociaba gasolina en EEUU y carecía de experiencia técnica en contratos internacionales de crudo, había donado 300.000 dólares a Vance en 2022 y 7 millones de dólares a comités de Trump en 2024 (el mismo año en que Vitol pagó 50 millones en California por un caso de manipulación de precios donde Addison fue señalado).
Recomendado por Vance, Addison recibió el 5 de enero (dos días después de la operación) la llamada del secretario de Energía, Chris Wright.
La Casa Blanca omitió la licitación pública y el 9 de enero Vitol y Trafigura ya tenían las licencias.
Con más de 200 millones de barriles exportados en lo que va de 2026, expertos estiman que los operadores ganan entre 3 y 3,50 dólares por barril (un margen de 3,5 % a 4 %, superior al 1 %–3 % habitual de Vitol). Ambas firmas mantienen en secreto sus contratos con PDVSA, y Vitol confirmó tener además relación comercial con NABEP, la petrolera de Alejandro Betancourt
Este reporte se suma a la filtración del informe de KPMG publicada ayer por The New York Times, según la cual Vitol y Trafigura concentraron el 61 % de los 12.260 millones de dólares ingresados a la Cuenta de Custodia de Venezuela antes de que Washington transfiriera casi la totalidad de esos fondos de vuelta al Banco Central de Venezuela
Es decir:
Una semana antes del ataque militar, el gobierno de Trump ya estaba coordinando en un club privado de esquí cómo repartir la comercialización del petróleo venezolano a sus megadonantes de campaña sin licitación pública.

"Chuck and I grew up, literally, in the same [Brooklyn] neighborhood. I am older than Chuck, but we went to the same elementary school, the same high school. We were on the Banking Committee together when I was first elected to Congress. So I have known Chuck for a long time, and I like Chuck, personally. He’s a very nice guy. But, I think, in this moment in American history, Chuck’s views are way out of touch with where the American people are at—and especially with where [the base of] the Democratic Party is. On issue after issue, I think he is just not in tune with where his constituents are at." thenation.com/article/politi…

Dude just got profiled by the WSJ. Quite a story.
Christian Lamarco, 31. Went to a small Christian college in Pennsylvania with no Wall Street recruiting pipeline.
Once drove to Carnegie Mellon to compete against Ivy Leaguers in a stock-picking contest. Finished second. Won $100.
Cold-emailed his research to hedge funds, landed a job at a Chicago long-short fund, then quit in 2019 with just a few months of savings to start Culper Research.
Moved to NYC, working out of a Brooklyn apartment. His team? Just two analysts.
They started investigating Nvidia last year, then gave up. They doubted three guys could uncover something Wall Street had missed about the world's most valuable company.
Picked it back up in March.
Interviewed former Nvidia employees, dug through corporate filings in Singapore and Malaysia, examined scrubbed code, even studied YouTube footage outside a Taiwanese noodle shop.
May 13: After a sleepless night, a bagel and a cigarette, he published a 40-page short report flagging Nvidia’s China exposure and Jensen Huang’s relationship with Alice Huang.
The next day, Nvidia hit an all-time high.
Nobody cared.
Six months later, the story blew up…

AXIOS: LUTNICK BLOCKED TRUMP'S NVIDIA–CHINA CHIP CRACKDOWN
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick repeatedly stalled restrictions on Nvidia ($NVDA ) chip exports to China, despite Trump approving action three times, according to Axios.
At an Oval Office meeting, Trump consulted Elon Musk, who backed tighter controls alongside Rubio, Bessent and Hegseth.
Lutnick reportedly warned the move “will start a trade war with China.”
Trump ultimately ordered: “Let's get it done.”
Axios reports the restrictions still have not been implemented. The Commerce Department disputes parts of the account.
