The CEO of Nvidia, Jensen Huang, cheated on his wife and was suspected of being connected to Chinese intelligence.
The investigation against the head of the company was initiated by the board of directors. The reason was Huang's close relationship with the head of Megaspeed, Alice Huang. American intelligence agencies suspect her of collaborating with Chinese intelligence.
Mega Speed is building data centers in Southeast Asia and leasing their capacity to the Chinese corporation Alibaba. In addition, the structure has financial ties with the Chinese military department.
In a message to employees, the head of Nvidia confirmed that he had an affair with Alice Huang, and expressed hope that he would be able to restore relations with his family and in time regain the trust of his colleagues, the board, partners and shareholders.
Donald Trump, despite the investigation, has said he wants to see Huang as part of his delegation during a trip to the ASEAN summits in the Philippines and APEC in China.
"I would definitely take him with me. I didn't hear him do anything wrong. He did business with somebody, but that's what everybody does," the US president told reporters.
