Nvidia board and FBI open inquiries into CEO Jensen Huang over espionage concerns

United States intelligence agencies and Nvidia's board of directors have launched investigations into Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang following concerns he was targeted in a foreign espionage operation. The inquiries focus on Huang's extramarital affair with Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed, who U.S. authorities suspect sought sensitive semiconductor data for Chinese intelligence.

While Huang acknowledged the relationship in an internal memo to employees, he did not name the woman involved. U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed that the Federal Bureau of Investigation is reviewing the matter, noting that Huang denied any awareness of potential foreign intelligence links. An internal audit conducted by Nvidia found no evidence indicating that corporate or government secrets were compromised, though news of the investigations caused a drop in the company's stock price.
