Nvidia CEO faces FBI probe over alleged Chinese spy relationship

nos.nl (Dutch) —

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang faces an FBI investigation and shareholder lawsuit after US intelligence suspected he had an intimate relationship with a Chinese spy, threatening his leadership of the world's second-most-valuable company. The company launched its own independent probe after Trump announced the FBI inquiry, while shareholders allege they were misled by Huang concealing the relationship. Investors view Huang as irreplaceable, calling him "Mister Nvidia," though similar unreported affairs have cost other executives their jobs at McDonald's, Boeing, and Intel. Nvidia lacks a board chairman and clear succession plans, increasing key-man risk, though Huang holds only 3.6 percent of shares and could theoretically be replaced, as Apple survived Steve Jobs' departure.
