The unfolding Jensen Huang scandal: a timeline
FreeGet stories like this compared, every morning at 7.
Nvidia co-founder Jensen Huang has resigned as CEO following revelations of multiple extramarital affairs. The scandal broke after Huang admitted to a relationship with Alice Huang, an executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed, whom U.S. intelligence officials reportedly suspect is a Chinese spy. Additional reports surfaced on Wednesday alleging a separate relationship with Kimberly Powell, Nvidia’s vice president of health care. The news caused Nvidia shares to drop more than 10% in pre-market trading, adding to a month-long decline. The U.S. Department of Justice is currently investigating Megaspeed over allegations of illegally sharing AI chips with China, and U.S. lawmakers had called for Huang's resignation prior to his departure.
