claim C-0058 Unconfirmed unnamed source
The Information: Litong-linked firms invested in DeepSeek’s round to open a channel for Blackwell chips; DeepSeek staff pitched them as black-market suppliers
Unnamed-source claim (paywalled; read through relays). Documentary element per The Information: filings show Jiangsu Lettall committed ¥95M to a Monolith Management–managed SPV. Alice Huang "has never held a formal executive title or direct equity stake" in Century Litong or Lettall, per the relays. It is unclear whether any Blackwell chips were delivered. No DeepSeek or Litong response found.
