FBI probes Nvidia CEO over affair with alleged Chinese spy; shareholders sue

newsNov 10, 202649202

President Donald Trump said the FBI is investigating Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang’s affair with Alice Huang, a woman US intelligence officials have reportedly identified as a suspected Chinese spy. Trump told reporters he had spoken with Jensen Huang and quoted Huang saying, "I had no idea she was a spy," adding he believed Huang and that "I know the FBI is looking into" the matter. Nvidia commissioned an independent investigation and said it had no reason to believe company secrets or national security were compromised. US reports cited by the BBC say intelligence officials identified Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le, as a suspected Beijing asset and that Senator Marco Rubio warned Washington officials in the spring. Beijing’s foreign ministry called the allegations "entirely groundless, speculative and intended to smear and malign China." Nvidia’s share price fell more than 4 percent, wiping about $250 billion off its market value, and a proposed class action lawsuit filed in California accuses Nvidia and Jensen Huang of defrauding shareholders by concealing the relationship and its national security risks.

The guys who can’t keep it in their pants all seem to think they are, or actually are “powerful”. There may be a link between $$$$ and belief in their masculine desirability. Research is needed.

I used to think that gadgets and tech was a lot of fun but the broligarchs coming out as a bunch of clowns in a stupid fascist death cult has dampened my enthusiasm quite considerably.

couldn't Tesla shareholders sue Musk after his antics? same pattern? or maybe the stock has to drop right after antics? (causal). other tech bro's antics may forever scrutinized in this way. (or in the past, going back to statute of lim...?) please share thoughts if you know more.

It's Huang thing after another

This honestly feels like the shareholders here believe this is the only way they’re going to recoup their investment now that the bubble effectively popped.

Heard on the Street: Nvidia’s alleged Chinese spy scandal might curb some of the more cavalier instincts of its chief executive, Jensen Huang. That wouldn’t be such a bad thing.
