Nvidia hires law firm to investigate CEO's affair with alleged Chinese spy
bbc.com —
Nvidia has hired New York law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz to investigate CEO Jensen Huang's affair with a woman alleged to be a Chinese spy, amid FBI probes and a $500 billion stock value drop. The woman, Alice Huang, is an executive at Nvidia customer Megaspeed. Nvidia announced Tuesday that Wachtell attorney Joon Kim will lead the independent investigation, while the FBI conducts its own probe. Shares fell to a near-yearly low. Secretary of State Marco Rubio reportedly warned officials about the relationship this spring. Beijing rejected the allegations, while President Trump said Huang told him he was unaware she was a spy. Nvidia's board said it found no evidence of compromised secrets.
