I'm all for having CEOs take responsibility. But unless it comes out that he actually leaked anything of substance than it really doesn't matter that he cheated on his wife from the business perspective.

It could still be an issue if his wife divorces him, takes a significant portion of his stock and decides to sell it off. The NVIDIA board would have to consider that possibility.

How would firing him make any difference. He’s already got the stock.

The worst she can do is sell them off. And at something like 1.75% she would own that is not likely to damage them seriously. Besides firing him or not, he already has the stock so it would accomplish nothing.

There was always that risk, whether or not he had an affair. People get divorced for all kinds of reasons and you have no idea how she felt about their marriage before she learned of the affair. You also do not know how she feels about the affair, she might have some kind of private (i.e. none of your business) arrangement with him because she sees enough value in keeping the marriage intact.

Also keep in mind that divorce is not some formulaic thing. Most divorces are settled out of court and a hypothetical settlement could have terms that allow him to keep those shares in exchange for something else (e.g. maybe he agrees to pay her the cash value or agrees to a large and permanent alimony structure). I doubt the Nvidia board is worried about this issue considering the other, more immediate problems here (like the fact that his mistress is a Chinese spy).

> arrangement

Everyone always assumes wives are naive wilting flowers, but for all we know she has her own private life on the side. It's really none of our business.

One could certainly question his judgment. As CEO of Nvidia, he should have recognized that his position made him an exceptionally valuable target for foreign intelligence operations

Usually when emotions are involved, people don’t think rationally. I don’t think he should go around his life 24/7 on alert that anyone showing sexual or romantic interest is out to get him.

he doesn't have to "leak" shit.

10 minutes alone with his laptop and a well crafted malicious USB is enough.

illicit visit with a few nice gifts, all bugged.

her whole role may have been simply to isolate where is and his laptop is inside of a hotel or building so that another team can slip in and grab it or clone it.

he could have kept his mouth 100% shut and been on full opsec the whole time and still gotten played by CCP intelligence.

and at this level of the game he should fuckin know better.

It would make more sense for him to say that they agreed to open marriage long time ago but decided to never ever say anything about it openly.

That would look better, after all, we are all just human.
