Short seller's Nvidia report exposed Jensen Huang's China ties
A report by short seller Culper Research, published six months ago, exposed problematic ties between Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and a Chinese businesswoman, contributing to a crisis that has since erased over $1 trillion in the company's market value. The 40-page report by founder Christian Lamarca, initially ignored, questioned Nvidia's China operations and Huang's relationship with Alice Huang, an executive at a key Southeast Asian partner. The stock has dropped 20% since publication, and the findings have become widely discussed. Lamarca, 31, spent months researching, using paid experts and interviews with former employees. He named his firm after Revolutionary War spies and has targeted dozens of companies, though he declined to reveal his profits from the Nvidia bet.
