"initiating an independent investigation in light of recent reporting that founder and CEO Jensen Huang has been the target of a foreign intelligence effort."
They are investigating a situation where their CEO was the target of an Op - that's totally reasonable and doesn't remotely hint that he has done something wrong.
This is the right thing for the board to do: "We are investigating the situation because we have been informed that foreign actors may have targeted our staff".
This is Jensen Huang we are talking about. One of the most significantly influential people on earth, one of the planet’s most obvious espionage and blackmail targets, someone who both companies and nations will be spying on, and he is shagging a foreign national in secret.
Even if he has enlisted no company employees in his deception of his wife, this is remarkably negligent behaviour on a professional level. Just enormous.
Be serious: this is a huge deal and they are for sure looking at his conduct.
If this was any other high value C suite employee, Nvidia would fire them for negligence.
Do you seriously think NVidia wants to have more eyeballs on this scandal?
