Jensen Huang admits extramarital affairs and resigns; US officials say his partner is a spy

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigned as CEO on November 12 over an extramarital affairs scandal, and CFO Colette Kress became interim CEO. US officials believe that Alice Huang, an executive at Singapore AI infrastructure company Megaspeed who was close to Jensen Huang, is a Chinese spy who passed intelligence back to Beijing; the company reportedly bought $4.8 billion of Nvidia chips over two years, and the United States and Singapore have investigated its suspected improper resale of chips to China, with The New York Times reporting that the Justice Department has taken over the federal investigation. The New York Times and Reuters successively reported that Jensen Huang also had extramarital affairs with Nvidia healthcare vice president Kimberly Powell and another unnamed employee, and Nvidia's board has launched an independent investigation. Democratic lawmakers announced they will investigate how the Trump administration handled Nvidia's chip sales to China, the Senate Banking Committee asked Jensen Huang and Commerce Secretary Lutnick to testify, and Jensen Huang has agreed to testify before Congress before Thanksgiving.
