Nvidia Board Opens Independent Probe Into CEO’s Ties to Alleged Chinese Spy

Cointime update: Nvidia’s board announced Sunday it is launching an independent investigation following reports that CEO Jensen Huang was a target of Chinese espionage. The company also released a message from Huang acknowledging an extramarital affair with Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based chip firm Megaspeed. A memo circulated among U.S. policymakers earlier this year claimed Alice Huang had been recruited by China’s Ministry of State Security to monitor the Nvidia chief executive.
