Nvidia’s board said it had opened an independent investigation after reports that founder and chief executive Jensen Huang had been the target of a foreign-intelligence effort. A committee of independent directors, assisted by outside independent counsel, will oversee the inquiry [E1][E2].
According to the board, it had no reason to believe national security or Nvidia secrets had been compromised, while saying the inquiry would examine all available information [E3].
Huang supports the review and will cooperate, the board said. It also said it retains confidence in him and his leadership team [E4][E5].
A Verge post published first-person text stating, “I was unfaithful to my wife.” It also includes, “My actions hurt her and our children,” and, “There is no excuse for what I did.” [E6][E7][E8]
The change since the paper’s 17 August coverage is the board’s newly announced independent inquiry involving Huang [E1].
