I've heard it was Sam Altman and OpenAI basically buying every wafer available from both Samsung and SKHynix at the start of October.
Neither company know of the other purchase until it was a done deal.

All well and good when you're dictating terms with dozens of buyers, but probably not so much when a single buyer is dictating terms to a couple of sellers.
Oh ffs it's like the toilet paper thing. I was amazed how long that continued despite credible sources saying there is no shortage, just insane demand from the loonies that don't believe it would return to normal instantly if they would just stop buying more and more extras because "see, it's out again!"
