đź’ˇ This comprehensive article is based on the tutorial above. Watch the video for visual demonstrations and detailed explanations.
In a stunning revelation that underscores the growing intersection of tech journalism, national security, and corporate accountability, the creators behind Gamers Nexus (GN) have disclosed they were contacted by the United States Secret Service—specifically its cyber crime and financial fraud division—following their investigative coverage of a major tech company. This development marks a pivotal moment in independent tech reporting, where deep-dive journalism is no longer confined to product reviews but now intersects with federal law enforcement, global surveillance networks, and high-stakes corporate corruption.
This article compiles every detail, insight, timeline, partnership, legal filing, and investigative thread from GN’s full transcript, transforming it into a comprehensive, SEO-optimized guide that reveals the full scope of their upcoming 3-month investigative series. From Nvidia’s alleged antitrust violations and sudden political donations to Palanteer’s chilling role in state surveillance—and even home raids over discarded gaming consoles—this is the definitive breakdown of tech’s descent into an AI dystopia.
The Secret Service Connection: When Tech Journalism Meets Federal Oversight
Early in 2024, GN’s investigative reporting attracted unexpected attention: a viewer with ties to the United States Secret Service’s cyber crime and financial fraud division reached out directly after seeing their coverage of a specific company. This contact confirmed a critical reality: independent tech journalism can now trigger federal interest when it exposes financial irregularities or potential national security risks.
While GN could not disclose the full nature of the inquiry due to sensitivity, this interaction validates their core mission: “Who watches the watchers?” And when those watchers are themselves being watched by entities like the Secret Service, GN positions itself as the layer that ensures even the overseers remain accountable.
Palanteer: The Shadowy AI Firm Behind Surveillance and Lethal Operations
Central to GN’s investigations is Palanteer—a firm described not as a typical data analytics company, but as an entity that “on occasion” uses its product to kill people. According to internal statements cited in the transcript:
“Our product is used on occasion to kill people.”
“Palanteer is here to disrupt and make our partner institutions the very best in the world—and when necessary, scare our enemies and on occasion kill them.”
Palanteer’s methodology involves fusing data, human judgment, and information into what it calls “business insight”—a euphemism that GN argues masks its role in enabling global surveillance operations targeting American citizens and others worldwide.
Palanteer’s Political Ties and Donations
GN uncovered that Palanteer allegedly made a $10 million donation
Nvidia Under Federal Scrutiny: Antitrust, Lobbying, and Political Flip-Flops
GN’s most ambitious investigation centers on what they describe as the “corruption of Nvidia.” Key findings include:
- The U.S. Department of Justice launched an antitrust investigation into Nvidia in 2024 over alleged monopolistic acquisitions.
- No public updates have been issued since the Trump administration returned to power.
- Nvidia silently reversed its decades-long stance against political contributions during this period.
Nvidia’s Explosive Rise in Political Spending
GN aggregated government filings and public records to reveal a dramatic spike in Nvidia’s political and lobbying expenditures:
| Year | Political Contribution | Lobbying Spend |
|---|---|---|
| Prior decades (cumulative) | $27 | $0 reported in 2016 |
| 2022 | Not specified | $90,000 |
| 2025 (projected) | $1 million to presidential inauguration | $3.5 million |
Additionally, GN reports a $1 million dinner at Mar-a-Lago and a $5 billion U.S. government-backed investment in Intel—moves that align suspiciously with the timing of the DOJ investigation.
Jensen Huang’s Contradictory Public Statements
GN highlights a telling exchange where Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was confronted about the company’s political donations:
“Can you tell me what the strategy was on Nvidia donating to the White House ballroom? And do you think that’ll help you with your China strategy?”
“We are so delighted to be able to contribute in a small way to what is clearly going to be a historic and national monument.”
GN interprets this as a carefully crafted deflection that avoids addressing the strategic implications of aligning with a specific administration during a sensitive geopolitical and legal moment.
Mega Speed: Nvidia’s Controversial Partner Under Commerce Department Investigation
Nvidia’s partnership with Mega Speed—a company now under investigation by the U.S. Department of Commerce for allegedly circumventing export controls using Nvidia GPUs—adds another layer of concern.
GN discovered that Mega Speed CEO La Huang and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang (no relation) were photographed together at a Taipei bar and are known collaborators in Mega Speed’s Singaporean operations.
Website Scrubbing and Erosion of Transparency
Since U.S. pressure intensified over chip diversion, GN found that Mega Speed has been “silently scrubbing its website” of key statements about its Nvidia partnership—a red flag suggesting deliberate obfuscation ahead of regulatory scrutiny.
UK Console Raids: Nintendo, Sega, and the Criminalization of Secondhand Tech
In a disturbing extension of corporate overreach, GN is investigating how companies like Nintendo and Sega allegedly collaborate with private investigator firms and local police in the UK to raid the homes of private citizens—simply for owning discarded or secondhand gaming consoles.
This investigation was triggered after Ross Scott of “Stop Killing Games” and “Aursed Farms” connected GN with a UK individual whose home was raided by police after purchasing a publisher-discarded device.
GN asserts this reflects a broader trend: tech corporations leveraging legal systems to terrorize consumers and suppress ownership rights under the guise of intellectual property enforcement.
The NZXT and Fragile Rental Scam: A Civil RICO Lawsuit Unfolds
Building on their prior exposé, GN is revisiting the NZXT rental computer scam, now escalated to a civil RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) lawsuit against both NZXT and Fragile.
Francisco Partners: The Controversial Investor Behind NZXT
Key revelations include:
- In 2021, NZXT received a $100 million investment from Francisco Partners.
- This coincided with NZXT’s aggressive push of its CAM data monitoring software.
- Francisco Partners has faced multiple accusations of human rights abuses and has documented ties to Michael Flynn, former National Security Advisor to the Trump administration.
GN’s prior reporting is cited dozens of times in the RICO filing, which alleges fraudulent collaboration between NZXT and Fragile in operating a predatory rental program.
Legal Expertise and Document Analysis
To deepen their analysis, GN hired attorney Vincent Augusta to review over 80 pages of court documents and provide expert commentary on the legal implications of the case.
Data Center Expansion: The Hidden Cost to Small-Town America
GN’s U.S. road trip will investigate the rapid, unchecked expansion of AI data centers across rural and suburban communities. Local residents report:
- Soaring electricity costs as utilities subsidize corporate energy demands.
- Declining property values and housing instability as average wages fail to keep pace.
- Resource depletion and pollution from massive water and power consumption.
GN plans to attend city council and town hall meetings nationwide to document grassroots resistance and corporate lobbying efforts to fast-track zoning approvals.
Right to Repair Under Attack: The Washington DC Smear Campaign
In Washington DC, GN will expose an organized anti-right-to-repair smear campaign that uses fear-mongering propaganda to block consumer protection laws.
The campaign, described as “feels like a scop” (a reference to covert operations), allegedly deploys a propaganda van targeting lawmakers with messages claiming that if consumers gain access to vehicle repair data, it could be exploited by North Korea or China.
GN frames this as a deliberate strategy by auto and tech giants to maintain control over repair ecosystems while disguising profit motives as national security concerns.
Funding the Fight: The “AI Dystopia” Kickstarter-Style Campaign
To support this massive 3-month investigative push, GN has launched a Kickstarter-style funding campaign at store.gamersnexus.net. This follows the success of their prior “Black Market GPU” campaign, of which 80% of rewards have already shipped.
Backer Rewards: Physical, Digital, and Symbolic
Rewards are themed around an “AI dystopian hellscape” and include:
- Retro IO Coaster Packs: Four custom-designed coasters per set, themed on pre-surveillance computing:

- IBM Model M-inspired numpad with curved borders.
- Amalgamated retro game controllers (designed to avoid copyright strikes).
- GN logo with 1980s/90s case detailing.
- “Copyright Takedown” T-Shirt: A nod to past legal threats (e.g., being “Bloomberged”).
- “Unhinged Vaporwave Smiley” T-Shirt: Fully censored with a zipper over the mouth.
- Custom “Snowflake the Pirate Cat” Inflatable Balloons: Symbolizing media revocation in subscription-only ecosystems.
- Physical USB Drives: Containing high-quality renders of upcoming investigations for permanent offline archival.
- Exclusive Backer-Only Content: Bonus footage, extended interviews, and early access.
- Small-Group Live Q&As: With the lead investigator (14 held during last campaign).

Stretch Goals: Ad-Free, Paywall-Free Journalism
If funding exceeds targets, GN will convert several investigations into fully written articles published on gamersnexus.net—free of third-party ads and paywalls.
Team and Production: Behind the Scenes of Investigative Tech Journalism
This series is a massive collaborative effort involving GN’s core team:
- Ben: Lead researcher, organizing hundreds of pages of documentation.
- Jimmy: Former Maximum PC editor; compresses complex data into scripts (wrote half of the “WTF is Going On” circular AI funding video).
- Vitali: Production lead; accompanying the team on U.S. road trips.
- Andrew: Creating custom 3D animations to visualize corporate funding loops.
GN is also hiring drone pilots and purchasing drone equipment for aerial shots of data centers and corporate facilities.
Music and Media: Elevating Investigative Storytelling
Building on their prior success, GN is commissioning original music for this series. Past collaborators include:
- Matt Heathy of Trivia
- Aaron Pauley of Of Mice & Men
Their tracks provided the atmospheric backbone for the “Black Market GPU” investigation and will be succeeded by new compositions tailored to the AI dystopia theme.
Preserving Independence: Rejecting Toxic Sponsorships
GN emphasizes that community funding allows them to maintain editorial integrity. Recently, they turned down a $20,000 sponsorship from a company whose product they deemed subpar.
Revenue from past campaigns has directly subsidized loss-leading content, including:
- 200 hours of ASRock motherboard failure testing
- White paper on animation error and new testing methodologies
These resources remain free, fast-loading, and ad-free on gamersnexus.net—thanks entirely to backer support.
Publication Schedule: November 2024 – January 2025
The investigative series will roll out over three months across two channels:
- GN (Gamers Nexus): Hardware-focused segments (e.g., NZXT, data centers).
- GNCA (Gamers Nexus CA): Broader tech policy, surveillance, and corporate overreach stories.
Viewers are advised to subscribe to both channels to avoid missing content.
The Circular AI Economy: Visualizing Corporate Interdependence
A key focus of GN’s Nvidia investigation is the “circular nature of money” within the AI bubble. They are developing a custom 3D animation to illustrate how companies like Nvidia, Palanteer, Mega Speed, and government entities fund, influence, and reinforce each other in a closed financial loop—obscuring accountability and amplifying monopolistic control.
Real-World Impact: From Tariffs to Surveillance
GN credits their prior “tariffs documentary” with opening their eyes to the power of on-the-ground investigative journalism. As tech becomes increasingly central to geopolitics, finance, and civil liberties, they see this expansion as a natural evolution of their mission—bridging hardware expertise with systemic critique.
Community as Co-Investigators: The Power of Backer Support
GN repeatedly emphasizes that none of this would be possible without community funding. Their model proves that independent, adversarial journalism can thrive outside traditional media and advertising ecosystems—especially when audiences value truth over convenience.
Final Thoughts: A Call to Action Against the AI Dystopia
GN’s message is clear: the window to expose and resist the consolidation of surveillance, corporate power, and political influence in the tech sector is narrowing. Their November–January series represents a culmination of 8 months of concurrent investigations—and they need public support to cross the finish line.
By backing their campaign, viewers don’t just get merchandise—they secure the preservation of investigative findings on physical USB drives, ensuring that even if videos are taken down or platforms collapse, the truth remains accessible.
As GN puts it: “This is another big adventure for us… and it’s going to be a really heavy publication schedule for us, but it should be pretty cool for you all.”
