Datasection Inc. 3905
Datasection is covertly supplying 15,000 export-controlled NVIDIA B200 GPUs to sanctioned Chinese military-linked Tencent via CEO-founded shell NowNaw Japan; already reported to US BIS and Japanese authorities.
Thesis
Wolfpack Research is short Datasection (3905.TYO), a ¥42B Tokyo-listed 'data center' company whose narrative rests on building Japan's largest AI supercluster with 15,000 NVIDIA B200 GPUs for an unnamed 'world's largest cloud provider'. Wolfpack concludes that mystery customer is Tencent — blacklisted by the US Defense Department for PLA ties — routed through NowNaw Japan, a shell founded by CEO Norihiko Ishihara whose Chinese sister entity Dalian Shouying operates inside Tencent's Dalian building. Japanese banks refused to fund the deal once they understood the structure, forcing Ishihara into a ~64% dilutive warrant from China-linked Singapore firm First Plus Financial, while KDDI and Nippon Life quietly dumped their stakes. Wolfpack has filed complaints with US BIS, Homeland Security and Japanese authorities, arguing enforcement will sever Tencent — and without Tencent, Datasection has no investable business.
SCQA
Datasection (3905.TYO) is a ¥42B Tokyo-listed 'data center' company whose equity story rests on building Japan's largest AI supercluster with 15,000 NVIDIA B200 GPUs for an unnamed 'world's largest cloud provider'.
Wolfpack's investigation concludes the mystery customer is Tencent — blacklisted by the US DoD for PLA ties — routed through CEO-founded shell NowNaw Japan, whose Chinese sister entity operates inside Tencent's Dalian building.
Wolfpack has filed complaints with US BIS, Homeland Security, and Japanese authorities, expecting export-control enforcement to forcibly sever the Tencent relationship that drives Datasection's entire supercluster thesis.
Without Tencent, Wolfpack argues Datasection's data-center business has no investable value; combined with the ~64% warrant-driven dilution from First Plus Financial, the equity faces near-total impairment.
The three reasons
- 1
Datasection's 'mystery customer' for 15,000 NVIDIA B200 GPUs is US-sanctioned, PLA-linked Tencent
- 2
CEO Ishihara routes the deal through NowNaw Japan; its affiliate sits inside Tencent's Dalian building
- 3
Japanese banks refused funding, forcing ~64% dilutive rescue from a China-linked Singapore firm
Primary demands
- Regulatory investigation by US BIS, Homeland Security, and Japanese authorities into illegal NVIDIA GPU exports to Tencent
- Short or avoid Datasection equity given expected enforcement action and loss of the only real customer

Notes
Japanese-language short report (pages 1-13) plus English boilerplate disclaimer (14-16). Text-heavy Word-style memo with embedded photos and screenshots rather than a slide deck. CEO-quote-contradiction takes the form of Ishihara's 2022 Keio interview calling NowNaw 'the American TikTok' vs. Datasection's current denial of any NNJ relationship. Report teases follow-ups — Wolfpack states the Japan investigation is ongoing. No explicit price target per firm disclaimer policy. John Ellis Bush Jr. (Jeb Bush's son) sits on Datasection's board, which Wolfpack flags as a likely political accelerant given Trump-era tensions with the Bush family.
