Jensen Huang, Nvidia's CEO, is embroiled in a scandal over an alleged affair with a suspected Chinese spy, causing the company to lose hundreds of billions in market value and face shareholder lawsuits. The affair reportedly began in 2024 when Alice Huang, then boss of Singapore firm Megaspeed, met Jensen Huang at a California event. Megaspeed is under US investigation for allegedly funneling Nvidia chips to China, and the FBI is now probing the relationship. Huang, a Taiwan-born US citizen worth about $154 billion, has apologized for his actions. The scandal has triggered an internal Nvidia board investigation and prompted US lawmakers to consider tightening China's access to American chip technology.
