Nvidia taps Cuomo investigator to probe CEO's China spy scandal

Nvidia has appointed Joon H. Kim, a former acting US attorney who investigated Andrew Cuomo, to lead an independent probe into CEO Jensen Huang's admitted affair with an alleged Chinese spy, the company announced Tuesday. Kim, a partner at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, will assist a board committee examining whether Huang was targeted by a foreign intelligence operation. Nvidia stated it has "no reason to believe" national security or company secrets were compromised, and Huang will remain CEO during the investigation. The probe tests Nvidia's board, whose directors have served a combined 161 years and include early investors with ties to Huang. Former employees said Huang viewed the board as a formality and resisted succession planning, leaving no obvious replacement if he steps aside.
