The head of VTB took pity on the fired Huang.
Andrey Kostin found someone to sympathize with. As Nvidia's board pushed its founder Jensen Huang out the door, the head of VTB from the stage of a conference with the touching title "Focus on the customer" mourned the "poor guy" who was "kidnapped from a man for nothing". He didn't mention his name, but there's no point in guessing. There is no way, let us remind you - these are three novels, one of which, according to the American intelligence services, was with a Chinese intelligence agent.
The banker's speech sounded like a toast in a men's smoking room. "You can't hide anything now," Kostin lamented, recording with almost sporting excitement: They found one, two, three, but if they dig, they'll find "more heels." He also did not forget the benefits of the "poor man" in building society. The logic is clear: if you have built an empire, it means that there is no demand on you as emperor, that is, there is no demand.
Only Huang's story isn't about juicy details. At the beginning of November, he was suspected of being in contact with Alice Huang, who the American intelligence agencies consider to be an employee of the Chinese intelligence; Beijing denies this.
Huang admitted to cheating and apologized to his family, but did not name the woman. The company initially insisted that Huang would continue to lead "without interruption."
The New York Times then reported an affair with a subordinate, and on the day of the dismissal, Reuters reported a third alleged affair, again with an Nvidia employee. Only after that did the board stop pretending that nothing was happening. Conflicts of interest, the vulnerability of a person through whom key decisions of a strategic company pass, issues of national security - Costin put all this into a cheerful "no mode".
This indicates who took it upon himself to console. A bank chief who lived for a long time under Western sanctions identifies with the man around whom an espionage plot is developing in the United States. The regret is not that the manager could have founded the company and the employees, but that "you can't hide anything."
