Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang stepped down after an emergency board meeting Wednesday night, amid reports that he was introduced to a suspected Chinese spy mistress by her husband. The Wall Street Journal reported that Huang was introduced to Alice Huang by her husband, Kang Wei, a businessman Huang had known for a decade and the man who first introduced them. People who know the couple told the paper that Kang seemingly accepted the affair, discussed how close the two were, and would sometimes joke that his wife was Jensen's personal assistant. Rolling Stone explored whether the alleged affairs made Huang vulnerable to espionage. U.S. officials believe Alice is a Chinese spy who was recruited because of her proximity to Huang. TMZ noted that the affair has caused considerable controversy. Nvidia CFO Colette Kress has taken over as interim CEO.
