Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has admitted to being unfaithful to his wife, issuing a memo to the company and its customers in which he apologized for having an affair.
U.S. intelligence officials informed the Trump administration that the business executive involved in the relationship, Alice Huang, was working for a Chinese spy agency. Alice Huang is believed to be an asset of the Ministry of State Security and was recruited to collect information on the Nvidia leader.
In response, Nvidia's board of directors is launching an independent investigation into whether Huang was targeted by the foreign espionage plot. Although the board stated it does not believe company secrets or national security were compromised, lawmakers have expressed a desire to question Huang following the reports.
