Reporting by Dina Bass says the splashy $500B chip financing announcement Jensen Huang made this summer is already in trouble — the backstop Nvidia offered is considered too low, and no deals have arisen from it. Ed Zitron blasted the episode: Huang and several private-equity backers went on CNBC promoting an 'entirely imaginary' deal that media reported as if it existed, calling him 'one of the greatest scam artists of our generation.'
