Full text retrieved. Reports a network of 400+ apparent sockpuppet accounts that since Nov. 2025 posted thousands of times taking Nvidia's side on export controls, defending Huang during the spy story, and attacking export-control advocates (frequently Chris McGuire, Sen. Warren, the House China committee) and Anthropic. Links the network to Koios, an Israeli firm Haaretz tied to a pro-Qatar campaign, and a possible successor "IntellACT". Koios denies involvement; Nvidia spokesperson: "We have no relationship with those firms and have not asked any other party to engage them on our behalf..." Author states the funder is unknown.
