On November 8 local time, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admitted to having an extramarital affair and publicly apologized in a letter to all employees. Previously, foreign media, citing anonymous U.S. intelligence sources, reported that the U.S. had assessed his partner, Alice Huang, as potentially having ties to Chinese intelligence. The Nvidia board simultaneously launched an independent investigation; so far, it has found no evidence that company secrets were compromised. China said the claims were baseless speculation and a smear, while Singapore also denied that any related investigation had been conducted there. The espionage allegation is only an assessment by U.S. intelligence and has not led to an indictment or a court conviction.
