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.

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