NVIDIA IS BUYING ITS OWN CHIPS AND CALLING IT REVENUE
And your retirement account is secretly holding the bag.
This scheme is literally straight out of the Enron playbook...
In January 2026, a special purpose vehicle called Valor Compute Infrastructure was created with one purpose:
Buy Nvidia's chips so Nvidia could book the sale as revenue.
Valor raised $5.4 billion and purchased over 100,000 of Nvidia's GB200 GPUs.
But $1.9 billion of that money came FROM Nvidia itself.
Nvidia invested $1.9 billion into the shell company, then sold that same shell company $5.4 billion worth of its own chips and booked every dollar as revenue.
It's the Girl Scout whose dad bought all the cookies and then she wins the sales contest because Dad was the customer. Except this Girl Scout is a trillion-dollar company and the cookie sale is $5.4 billion.
But it gets MUCH worse:
The remaining $3.5 billion in financing came from Apollo Global Management. Apollo structured the debt, packaged it into securities, and then sold those securities to Athene.
And guess who Athene is? Apollo's OWN insurance subsidiary. The one that sells fixed annuities to American retirees as safe, conservative retirement products.
Follow the chain:
Nvidia funds a shell company with $1.9 billion. The shell company buys $5.4 billion in Nvidia chips. Apollo finances the remaining $3.5 billion. Apollo sells the debt to its own insurance arm. That insurance arm packages it into annuity products and sells them to retirees who think they're buying something safe.
The retirees have no idea that their retirement savings are now backed by 100,000 computer chips sitting in some data center that will be worth pennies on the dollar in three years.
Now look at what's happening inside Athene:
$74.2 billion in US reserves but $217 billion in assets have been shifted to a Bermuda-based captive insurer, outside normal US regulatory oversight.
$103 billion of that portfolio (roughly 35%) is classified as Level 3 assets. That means there is no observable market price.
These assets are valued by internal models, not by actual markets.
And sitting on top of all those unpriced assets? 16.6x leverage.
If you're getting flashbacks to 2008, you should be.
Back then it was mortgages bundled into securities that nobody understood, sold to investors who had no idea what they were holding, rated as safe by agencies that never looked under the hood.
Today it's GPU-backed securities. Computer chips bundled into structured credit instruments, routed through an offshore insurance subsidiary, and sold to you as a retirement product.
The collateral is 100,000 GPUs leased to a single customer through an xAI subsidiary. If xAI stops making lease payments for any reason - financial distress, a pivot in strategy, anything - the entire structure unravels.
And Nvidia releases new architectures every year, so each generation delivers dramatically more compute per watt. A 5 year lease on technology that's obsolete in 2 years creates a mismatch that should terrify every annuity holder in America.
Every single step in this chain is technically legal. The SPV is legal, the lease is legal, Nvidia's equity stake is legal, the securitization is legal, and the Bermuda transfer is legal.
But legality and legitimacy are not the same thing.
I've seen every trick Wall Street has ever pulled in my 45 years of doing this.
And what I'm looking at right now is a pipeline that takes AI infrastructure risk, launders it through 8 layers of financial engineering, and deposits it in the retirement accounts of Americans who never agreed to fund Elon Musk's data centers.
In 2008 it was mortgage-backed securities.
In 2026 it's GPU-backed securities.
Different asset. Same greed. With the same ending.
POTUS shares my photo from July 24, 2024 when terrorists took over Columbus Circle outside of Union Station, vandalizing everything. They also tore down the American flags, burned them and replaced them with the Hamas/Palestinian flag
Putin on Iran:
Iran is a friendly state for us.
I believe that the Iranian leadership and the people of Iran trust us.
They fully trust us — and, by the way, in the future, this uranium could be used, once we reduce the enrichment level.
This uranium could be used for peaceful purposes — for nuclear power and our nuclear projects in Iran — under IAEA control.

The US cares more than Keir Starmer.
Let me get this straight...
Not a SINGLE vote that got counted late in California so far went to Spencer Pratt???
ZERO???
🚩🚩🚩 Red flags are waving.
I find that very strange and unlikely.

We now have more information about the story that's going to drop soon that has the Platner campaign so freaked out.
A former girlfriend has come forward and described some sort of assault. Unclear whether it's sexual or physical or both.
She reportedly has RECEIPTS in the form of text messages to friends and family.
She describes Platner as having uncontrollable fits of rage and using his size to stop her from leaving the room and make her fear for her safety.
Platner's lawyers are desperately fighting to prevent the story from being released.
The Democrats' Platner problem is about to explode.
Grand Master Troll Level here.
You think any Fake News reporter in that Oval Office doesn’t know massive fraud is underway in California?
He also just told these Fake News reporters “Maybe we caught them and they won’t get away with it!”
🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: Trump just signed an executive order that will functionally wall off the Canadian export economy from the United States.
Every Canadian company shipping to the US now must:
-Post much higher per shipment bonds
-Be CTPAT validated by US customs
-Disclose beneficial ownership & domestic assets
-Provide foreign tax IDs & detailed supply chain data
-Lose access to “informal entry” for low value shipments entirely
The reason?
Foreign importers can’t be trusted to comply with US law.
The trigger?
Canada’s documented failure to enforce its own forced labour ban.
80% of our exports go south.
The Prime Minster yesterday said “we expected this”
Canadians who export to the US sure as hell didn’t.

No, the short answer is that the Democrat machine needs to know how many votes to manufacture after the initial count, and then needs a period in which to manufacture them.
LA County Recorder just now:
"This is the law in California, that it takes this long, weeks, to count the votes."
Yes, they literally rub your faces in the corruption.
"WE PASSED LAWS TO MAKE THIS SHIT LEGAL."
