Nvidia board and FBI expand inquiry into CEO Jensen Huang's foreign espionage risks

U.S. intelligence agencies and Nvidia's board of directors have deepened investigations into Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang following disclosures of his extramarital relationship with Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed. Authorities suspect the affair may have been targeted by Chinese intelligence to acquire strategic technology insights.

While Huang admitted to marital infidelity in a message to staff, he refrained from naming his partner. U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed that the FBI is actively reviewing the matter, adding that Huang expressed shock and denied any awareness of espionage links. An internal audit by Nvidia has so far found no evidence that corporate or governmental secrets were compromised. Nevertheless, concerns surrounding security exposure contributed to a decline in Nvidia's share price.
