I'd go as far as to say the second leak helps him a bit, by reframing this as a cheating scandal rather than it being more about him knowingly evading an embargo.

Having an affair with your direct report also wildly increases the risk that Nvidia would be embroiled in high-profile lawsuits, either for sexual harassment or favoritism

Yea also multiple affair partners just increases the risk one of them will blackmail, which can 100% have effects on the bottom line.

Which is still better than prosecution for evading sanctions on China by working with a Chinese spy.

Firing him doesn’t make them any leas liable for any potential sexual harassment or favoritism that already happened

Whether the board knowingly allowed the problem to continue can absolutely factor into the company’s liability.
