Nvidia and CEO face class action over alleged spy affair

welt.de (German) —

Nvidia and CEO Jensen Huang face a class action lawsuit accusing them of misleading investors by concealing Huang's ties to an alleged Chinese spy. The suit was filed Monday in a California federal court. The complaint alleges Huang's affair with Alice Huang, a former Megaspeed manager, raised national security concerns threatening Nvidia's reputation and business. President Trump defended Huang, saying he believes Huang had no knowledge of alleged espionage. The scandal has increased pressure for new laws restricting China's access to AI chips, including the AI Overwatch Act. Nvidia's stock fell 4.2 percent Monday to its lowest level since April 7 amid investor doubts about Huang's future.
