Note that this is the announcement of a settlement. Nvidia agrees to pay 5.5 million, agrees to state the risk, and doesn’t admit to fault. No one is in serious trouble... nvidia should have indicated the risk, and didn’t... (probably because someone in legal fucked up). It’s not like investors didn’t know this was a risk!

Exactly. This is a light slap on the wrist for not including a two sentence blurb in the "risk factors" section that no sophisticated investor relies upon. But as a public company, they are supposed to make things clear for unsophisticated investors.

No, it's for attributing the sales to gaming industry growth, not more volatile crypto.

In reality though I wonder how many of the "unsophisticated" investors have even opened a 10-K before investing... Let alone know what it is...

Isn't there a list containing every risk in the world, that one can paste into the form? Would that suffice?
