I expect the real issue here is that Cotton doesn't abide by having a non-white CEO at the helm of a good ol' American company. That said, Cadence was caught with their pants down, and should be punished accordingly.
Since it reference cadence:

Fined for breaking laws that are supposedly there for national security. People should be in jail, if these laws had any real purpose.

There are worse people who didn’t go to jail: theguardian.com/…/dupont-pfas-settlement-water-ch…
These days all companies got to do is pay a fine.

if they throw Lip-Bu Tan in jail does that mean the 24,000 people he shitcanned get their jobs back?

Isn’t this the guy who outright said their focus is now short term profitability and cost cutting?
For Intel’s sake, I hope he goes.

Yeah for all his shortcomings Pat Gelsinger had the right plan for Intel. But the board wanted to see the numbers go up every quarter -- long-term viability be damned -- and he couldn't do both that and push all of their advanced engineering directives, so something had to give (which in this case was Gelsinger himself).

He presided over a ton of dyfucntion too, but yes exactly.

The only thing that Intel leadership is a threat to is Intel.

This seems fair to be honest, the guy was CEO of Cadence while they were getting around export controls. Probably not a bad idea to check things out.

Naw. This is not what was happening at all. This is a ploy to try and nationalize a chip producer, as China has. AMD and Nvidia will never work, and Intel is low hanging fruit.

Intel "leadership" destroyed the company with endless share buybacks and it now relies on capital infusion from the US government.
It should be nationalized.

Okay but Tom Cotton is a bigoted piece of raccoon feces.
