I would be surprised if every publicly traded American company didn’t have policies against fraternizing with subordinates or customers. Every one I’ve worked for banned this or required oversight. Additionally, companies of this scale would almost certainly have policies demanding due diligence with customers. But given Jensen is the founder, I’d expect he could survive that.

What’s really hurting Jensen here are the accusations of sanctions violations. That can impact Nvidia. It’s already hurting the stock price. That hurts the investors. A 20% drop while the rest of the market is fine is probably enough to oust him.
