Nvidia opens Jensen Huang probe over affair tied to spy claims

Nvidia has opened an internal investigation into CEO Jensen Huang after he told the board he had a romantic relationship with Alice Huang, a Chinese businessperson US intelligence agencies concluded was working for Beijing. In a memo to employees on Nov. 8, Huang said he had been unfaithful to his wife and apologized to his family. Nvidia said an independent committee of directors, working with outside counsel, will handle the review. The company said it had no reason to believe national security or Nvidia secrets were compromised, and Huang will remain CEO during the probe. Alice Huang previously worked at Singapore-based Megaspeed International, which rents Nvidia-powered computing capacity to Alibaba and other Chinese firms.
