An Emirati billionaire stepped down from their role leading an major international logistics company Friday after being exposed for having received an especially disturbing email from Jeffrey Epstein in 2016, the Wall Street Journal reported, and Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) celebrated.

Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, formally CEO of DP World, was revealed this week to be involved in the now-infamous 2016 email with Epstein in which the convicted child sex offender wrote that he “loved the torture video.” Bin Sulayem’s name was initially redacted by the Justice Department until it succumbed to pressure from Khanna and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY).

“[Massie] & I called on DOJ to stop protecting this man & underact his name,” Khanna wrote Friday in a social media post on X. “They relented. Then I took to the House floor to name names. Today, he resigns. We will not rest until there is elite accountability for the Epstein class.”

DP World is a hugely influential company that specializes in cargo logistics, annually overseeing the transportation of 70 million shipping containers carried by 70,000 sea vessels, a staggering 10% of global container traffic. The company generated more than $20 billion in revenue in 2024, and until Friday morning, was led by Bin Sulayem as its CEO.

DP World announced Friday, however, that Bin Sulayem had resigned in the wake of being exposed in the DOJ’s release of Epstein files.

Bin Sulayem’s name was initially redacted by the DOJ, with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche rationalizing the redaction because it included personal identifying information, that being Bin Sulayem’s email address. After Khanna and Massie viewed the unredacted file for themselves, they called on the DOJ to un-redact the file, with Khanna publicly naming Bin Slayem on the House floor this week.

Bin Sulayem had also helped Epstein purchase his second private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands in 2016, using the Emirati billionaire to “disguise his identity because the owner of the island didn’t want to sell to Epstein,” the Wall Street Journal reported.

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

The post China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise China’s internet regulator has ordered the country’s biggest technology firms, including Alibaba and ByteDance, to stop purchasing Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D GPUs. According to the Financial Times, the move shuts down the last major channel for mass supplies of American chips to the Chinese market. Why Beijing Halted Nvidia Purchases Chinese companies had planned to buy tens of thousands of RTX Pro 6000D accelerators and had already begun testing them in servers. But regulators intervened, halting the purchases and signaling stricter controls than earlier measures placed on Nvidia’s H20 chip. Image: Nvidia An audit compared Huawei and Cambricon processors, along with chips developed by Alibaba and Baidu, against Nvidia’s export-approved products. Regulators concluded that Chinese chips had reached performance levels comparable to the restricted U.S. models. This assessment pushed authorities to advise firms to rely more heavily on domestic processors, further tightening Nvidia’s already limited position in China. China’s Drive Toward Tech Independence The decision highlights Beijing’s focus on import substitution — developing self-sufficient chip production to reduce reliance on U.S. supplies. “The signal is now clear: all attention is focused on building a domestic ecosystem,” said a representative of a leading Chinese tech company. Nvidia had unveiled the RTX Pro 6000D in July 2025 during CEO Jensen Huang’s visit to Beijing, in an attempt to keep a foothold in China after Washington restricted exports of its most advanced chips. But momentum is shifting. Industry sources told the Financial Times that Chinese manufacturers plan to triple AI chip production next year to meet growing demand. They believe “domestic supply will now be sufficient without Nvidia.” What It Means for the Future With Huawei, Cambricon, Alibaba, and Baidu stepping up, China is positioning itself for long-term technological independence. Nvidia, meanwhile, faces…
